The institution has withdrawn from this year’s competition for reasons unknown to Basketballghana.com
UCC is scheduled to compete today in Zone 3 at the University of Education-Winneba (UEW) with the host institution joining three others to compete for a spot in the quarterfinals.
KAAF University College, Cape-Coast Technical University and Regent University College of Science and Technology round up the roster.
Regent has stepped in as a replacement for UCC and will compete in the competition for the first time since UPAC commenced in 2011.
UCC’s withdrawal is a shock considering the team’s deep connection with the UPAC Championship participating in every edition.
The team is a former bronze medal winner in four previous appearances; this is the fifth edition of the renowned tournament.
KAAF is making its first appearance in the zone after playing the Eastern Zone in last year’s competition.
