By Dann O'werre
THE 2014 men's final play-off will throw off on December 17, Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) fixtures secretary Joseph Amoko has revealed.
He said the matches to be staged at Safaricom Stadium, will be played on best of five series and will be aired live by SuperSport. The two women's semi final matches will also be aired live.
"Game One of the men's premier and lower division finals will start on December 17 and will run for five days non stop before the champions are determined.
The ladies finals will follow later," said Amoko. He said Kenya Ports Authority and United States International University, who have just returned from just concluded Fiba Africa women championships in Tunisia, will be in action this weekend.
"We are running late and as a result, KPA and USIU will be back in local action now that they are back home," he added. KPA, who are the reigning national women champions will host Ulinzi 'Blades' in Mombasa while USIU will have a date with Safe Spaces in the quarter finals Game Three. The winners will meet Co-operative Bank and Sprite Storms in the semis.
In the men's category, reigning men's champions Co-operative Bank of Kenya will host KPA in Nairobi. The bankers are on the verge of elimination after trailing 2-0, having lost both games in Mombasa last weekend.
The other semi final will see six-time champions Ulinzi 'Warriors' confront USIU 'Tigers' in Game Two after taking Game One 70-58 at Nyayo last weekend.
In the lower division, Zetech University meet Dankind Academy and Umoja play KCA University. Zetech and Umoja lead the series 1-0 having won 89-76 and 52-45 respectively.
