Mark Mentors crashes out of FIBA Africa Basketball Championship

Mazembe club of Congo prevailed against Mark Mentors of Nigeria to seal their quarterfinal birth. Evariste Shonganya stepped up with 23 points and 9 caroms to pace DR Congo team. 
Patient Felekeni tossed in 11 points and 9 rebounds in the winning case. Stanley Gumut responded with 18 points and 8 rebounds for Mark Mentors. Ejike Ugboaja had 16 points in the loss.

The loss means that mark mentors are out of the 29th edition of the African Champions Cup Basketball in Sfax Tunisia after they could only muster 1 win in 5 outings in the championship. 

Their only victory coming from the opening day win over ABC basketball club of Cote D' Ivoire.
Kano Pillars did not make it to the championship all together due to the failure of the Kano state government to sponsor them to then event. Their failure to attend despite being given a wild Card could attract sanctions from FIBA Africa.
