Nairobi City Thunder's Fabrias Ondeng in action against ANU's Frederick Omondi during last weekend’s match/ HANDOUT
The youthful side continues to navigate disruptions in training, academic pressure and an ongoing injury crisis, even as they remain competitive across all three fixtures.
Head coach Michael Oluoch described the stretch as part of a wider learning curve, with his charges falling 47-64 to Strathmore Blades on Friday, narrowly losing 79-83 to Nairobi City Thunder on Saturday, before going down 67-77 to Ulinzi Warriors on Sunday.
Oluoch stressed that the context behind the performances was as important as the results, noting the limited preparation time following examinations. “It was a crazy game for us. They gave it their all. The players had just come from exams and had not trained,” he said.
Despite the defeats, the Wolfpacks showed late-game resilience, repeatedly pushing established sides deep into the closing stages. Oluoch pointed to structured passages of play and improved decision-making under pressure as positives to build on.
“They were doing everything right on the court. It was just bad luck that we were not able to convert and win at least one game,” he added. The coach also highlighted the strain of rebuilding momentum while managing personnel shortages, with seven players currently sidelined through injury and limited training consistency affecting cohesion.
“We’ve been out for practically a month. We prepare for the next games, although we have a lot of injuries, seven in total,” he said, as the squad works to stabilise both fitness and rhythm.
Despite the setbacks, Oluoch maintained that the challenging stretch remains valuable for development, insisting the performances reflect the team’s underlying potential. The Wolfpacks now sit tenth on the log with two wins and four losses from six matches as they continue their search for consistency in the league.
