Baba Jubril’s men will hope to bounce back from the opening loss when they face another BAL-bound opponent, Abidjan Basketball Club Fighters later today.
The Falcons are scheduled to link Dakar, Sengegal, after the tournament for their games at the Basketball Africa League.
Kwara Falcons have been drawn in the Sahara conference with five other teams: US Monastir (Tunisia), Rwanda Energy Group BBC (Rwanda), AS Douanes (Senegal), and ABC Fighters (Ivory Coast).
They will begin their maiden campaign when they face off against REG on Sunday, March 12, at 3pm.
