EDO 2020: Team Lagos Through To Basketball Event Final…To Face Team Gombe

Lagos State has qualified for the final of the basketball event of the Edo 2020 taking place in Benin after defeating host- Edo by 57 to 45 points.

The team which narrowly lost to Kano in the opening group game came back strongly with a 72-26pts win over Nasarawa state in the second game of the competition.

Although the match was competitive at some point, it was Lagos who booked a guaranteed medal slot with the needed win.

In the second semi-final played on Saturday, Kano state was too strong for Bayelsa state to book a date with Lagos who they earlier defeated in their first group game.

With just 5 teams in the men’s category, the competition is being played in a round-robin format.

Gombe state is looking good for the gold medal with an unbeaten streak after three games against Kano, Edo, and Kwara states.

After just a game against Kwara state which they won conveniently by 103-52pts, Lagos also has been tipped for a medal finish with three more games against Edo, Kano, and Gombe states.

The final games of the basketball event will take place on Tuesday, 12th of April, 2021.
