Ibe Agu once again showed up for Defenders as he scored a team high 22 points, seven rebounds and five assists but his efforts were not enough to stop the Tunisians.

Two other Civil Defence players finished on double digits, Ocheibi Okpe had 18 points and nine rebounds while Umar Garba scored 17 points, 5/10 from behind the arc and 2/2 from the free throw line.

Former Mark Mentors star, Okpe, who was one short of a rebound double-double, contributed 3/5 three point shots in the game.

Defenders shot a total of eight 3-pointers in the game compared to Friday’s game against BC Terreur they had no shot. But were still guilty of more turnovers in the game 13-7 suffered by ES Rades.

In the other game, Elan Sportif bounced back from Friday’s loss to beat BC Terreur of DR Congo 80-74 to stand a chance to pick the last slot to the Elite 8.

Defenders will take on host Elan Sportif while Etoile Sportive Rades will face BC Terreur on Sunday.
