NIBS Panthers kept their unbeaten record intact after a strong 77-47 win over FEBA Development, continuing the form that has made them one of the teams to watch this season.
From the opening stages, NIBS looked sharp and in control. They moved the ball well, defended with intensity, and never really allowed FEBA to build any momentum. It was another performance that showed confidence from a side growing stronger with each outing.
The main man for the Panthers was Elvis Otieno, who put together an excellent display on both ends of the floor. He finished with 23 points, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, while shooting 9-of-10 from the field. Efficient, composed, and difficult to stop, Otieno set the tone whenever his team needed him.
He also had plenty of support. Dennis Amukoche added 13 points, Joshua Kiplagat scored 11, while Harrison Thuva gave the Panthers energy inside with 10 points and 6 rebounds. That kind of contribution across the roster is what continues to separate NIBS from many sides in the league.
For FEBA Development, Alphone Ouma was the standout performer. He scored 24 points on an impressive 10-for-14 shooting, carrying much of the offensive responsibility for his side. Even in a difficult game, he stayed aggressive and kept attacking.
The challenge for FEBA was support scoring. Ouma found his rhythm, but NIBS’ defensive pressure made it hard for others to get going consistently, and that gap became clearer as the game went on.
For the Panthers, this was another statement result. They are not relying on one player or one hot streak — they look organised, deep, and confident. Every week, someone different seems ready to step up.
FEBA will want to move on quickly, but there were still positives in Ouma’s showing. If they can build more around that effort, better results will come.
As for NIBS Panthers, the unbeaten run rolls on — and so does the belief around them.
