On Wednesday, Power needed Sivachi and Libe’s heroics to overcome a resolute Ndejje University in a 84-75 laboured victory.
“It was a good game, we had to get this win because we were on a poor run and had to put ourselves in a better position in the standings” Sivachi said after the game.
“We had to step up, as you know two of the starters are on suspension. It’s not like an opportunity but when u are called up on, you have to step up.”
Sivachi shot 8 of 13 from the field to lead the way with 18 points, he added 9 rebounds from his 22 minutes on court.

On how he has to improve more, Sivachi added:
“Mostly on the blocks, post moves and the shots have to be better, I have to improve on the efficiency generally.”
Libe and Syrus Kiviiri scored 15 points each. Amini Mkosa also contributed 10 points.
Betway Power has played 20 games – won 14 games, lost 6. They still have KIU Titans and Sharing Youth on menu.
