The action tips off April 17 in Cairo, Egypt, with the Ugandan champions going up against home side and last season\u2019s winners Al Ahly, Libya\u2019s Al Ahly and Central African Republic\u2019s Bangui.<\/p>\n

Having failed to make the BAL Playoffs in their first season, the nine-time National Basketball League champions will be looking to right the wrongs this time round.<\/p>\n

That, however, is a story that will gain momentum after Easter Monday, when the team completes its first round action against UCU Canons.<\/p>\n

The immediate focus is on newcomers JT Jaguars, whom Andrew Tendo\u2019s charges face in Wednesday\u2019s game at YMCA in Wandegeya.<\/p>\n

Oilers responded to their 60-54 loss to the Namuwongo Blazers with victories over KCCA Panthers, Kampala Rockets, and most recently, Livingstone.<\/p>\n

New signings Rogers Dauna and Benjamin Kawumi showed glimpses of what is expected of them at Oilers, with the former named Player of the Game after recording 12 points and nine rebounds in 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

Kawumi also came off the bench to score 15 points.<\/p>\n

The Jaguars will look to rely on the experience of Fadhil Chuma to cause an upset in their first league clash with the champions.<\/p>\n

Ian Lubwama and Mark Were are the other players Sudi Ulanga\u2019s charges can rely on.<\/p>\n

Oilers are currently second on the 12-team log, with an 8-1 record while Livingstone lie sixth, with a 3-5 record.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s division, UCU Lady Canons will face off with a plucky Magic Stormer side to start off the evening.<\/p>\n
