Ho Polytechnic point guard Sedem Tetevi remains defiant about his team’s chances ahead of the 2015 UPAC Basketball Championship qualifiers.

The side must fend off competition from Pentecost University College as well as host University of Professional Studies to pick the sole ticket to the finals.
They will count on the experience of key players including Joseph Alem Butias, Clinton Akpaloo, Patrick Mawuli Kpodo, Agbator Richardson and others to steer the team to victory.

“There are many up-and-coming players in our squad. We are not preparing for the group phase but aiming at the ultimate title.
“Our presence in this tournament will bring basketball to another level in this country.
In his usual proverbial stunt, the ever-smiling influential leader said: “Don’t check the depth of a river with both legs”.
