Nigeria Basketball Body Adjust Premier League Fixtures.


 
NBBF Boss,Tj Umar
Sequel to  the elimination of Union Bank, Dodan Warriors and Lagos Islanders from the DSTV Basketball League, the Nigeria Basketball Federation(NBBF) has consequently adjusted the fixtures for the 2015/2016 new Premier  League season. 
 
This decision was taken due to the participation of the three Lagos teams in the Africa Basketball League which the NBBF considers as illegal. 
 
For that reason, it has been confirmed that only five teams will slug it out in the Atlantic Conference of this season's DSTV Basketball League: Rivers Hoopers, Delta Force, Oluyole Warriors, Kwara Falcons and the only Lagos side left, Nigeria Customs. This means, a team will be placed on standby every week with the others playing against each other twice in the same week. 
 
To this end, Rivers Hoopers have been scheduled to play their first two games away at Customs in Lagos on Friday, March 18 and Sunday March 20, 2016.
 
  Other fixtures for week 1:
 
Oluyole Warriors V Kwara Falcons
 
Nigeria Customs V Rivers Hoopers 
 
Delta Force stands by in Week 1
