KNUST lost to 41-43 to the likes of University of Cape-Coast and 23-38 to host and eventual winners University of Ghana (UG).
Speaking to players and Coaches of the Kumasi-based tertiary institution, there is a clear sense the team has big plans for this year’s edition.

KNUST and UG are in Group A with newcomer Ghana Technology University College and Takoradi Technical University.
Former player Emmanuel Amoako who is a member of the technical team stated in an interview with Basketballghana.com, “They-KNUST- have the heart to go far”.
