It was a tough challenge, but it was one that I was willing to step up to, and I am glad that we got the win tonight,\u201d he said in a post-match interview.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the performance put up by Congolese center Pichou Manga who was one of the standout players in the game as he scored 16 points and 10 rebounds in addition to pulling off some amazing blocks to deny the Tunisians scoring opportunities, Pack praised the aggressiveness he showcased.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has been like that all the tournament. We have been trying to establish him. He has a big body. We are trying to get him the ball, and tonight he was very aggressive with his post-ups. After the first quarter he started finishing, and that\u2019s what we want him to do. We have some good perimeter players, we really want him to have the ability to play inside, and tonight Pitchou was able to give us what we have been looking for. He played a great game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Power forward Axel Mpoyo, who came off the bench to score some important points for REG revealed that his contribution off the bench was long overdue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always had that energy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just needed to come out of the bench and do the little things, rebounding and take shots,\u201d added Mpoyo who was 3-for-7 from behind the arc to finish with 9 points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis win says that we are going in the right direction. They are a really good team. We knew it was going to be a fight,\u201d the Rwandan international player pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>REG return to the court tonight against Ferroviario da Beira.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/rwanda\">Rwanda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
