It is possible. We will use the momentum we have gained since we returned from the break to push forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said if ANU can finish the second leg without any break, then it will be good for the varsity side. Oluoch said this is their first time in the league but his boys are getting better and better after the Covid-19 break.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Being our first time in the league, we will change accordingly,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Surprise package ANU who gave early notice by mauling Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) 73-63 in June have lost three games. Wolfpacks are in fifth position having garnered 15 points from nine games. They have six wins. KPA are top with 19 points.<\/p>\n<p>ANU have lost three times, going down to top guns Equity Bank Dumas, Ulinzi Warriors and Thunder.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Strath&#8217; tactician Tony Ochieng, whose side also fell 72-54 to Equity Bank Dumas over the weekend, said the two losses his side suffered were huge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We played not as a team. The graduation celebration might have affected the performance but the losses were huge,&#8221; Oluoch said.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;Our team chemistry was only evident in first quarter. Mentally, the boys just freaked and we had no answers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wolfpacks Paul Raburu posted 23 points and Victor Mwoka added 18 in that win. Blades had 13 from Robert Odhiambo and 12 from Dennis Koja.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
