REG Unleashes Fourth Quarter Fury to Overcome EAU Rwanda's Early Dominance

East Africa University Rwanda Men (EAU Rwanda) controlled the first half against REG, establishing a lead in the opening quarter (20-19) and extending it significantly by halftime, outscoring REG 25-18 in the second to take a comfortable 45-37 advantage into the break. EAU Rwanda's strong start saw them hold the lead for an impressive 32:46 of the game.

The third quarter saw a more balanced affair, with both teams scoring 20 points, leaving EAU Rwanda still up by eight, 65-57, heading into the final frame. However, the fourth quarter proved to be a complete turnaround. REG ignited an offensive surge, dominating EAU Rwanda 28-19, flipping the script entirely and ultimately securing a commanding 93-76 victory. Their biggest scoring run of 8 points (57-65) was crucial in bridging the gap.

REG's superior efficiency, boasting 1.11 points per possession compared to EAU Rwanda's 0.93, eventually wore down their opponents. Despite EAU Rwanda's early control, REG's ability to generate points from turnovers (23 vs 14) and their deeper bench production (27 vs 14) were key factors in their decisive comeback.
