Kepler BBC Dominates EAU Rwanda Men with Wire-to-Wire Victory

Kepler BBC asserted their dominance from the opening tip, securing a commanding 92-74 victory over East Africa University Rwanda Men. The visiting side exploded in the first quarter, outscoring EAU a staggering 22-4 and establishing a lead they would never relinquish. This early surge, fueled by a 15-0 scoring run, set the tone for the entire contest, leaving EAU struggling to find their rhythm.

Despite EAU's efforts to close the gap in the subsequent quarters, including a strong 24-point second quarter and a 25-point third quarter, Kepler consistently maintained their advantage. They held the lead for an impressive 39 minutes and 25 seconds of the game, at one point extending their biggest lead to 25 points (57-82).
