The minds games have started ahead of the decisive second-leg of Africa Basketball League Elite 8 game between holders AS Sale and Civil Defenders, but with both sides failing to take advantage in the first-leg which ended 69-69, Defenders Small Forward Victor Okpe believes they now have the psychological edge.
Defenders put up a spirited display in the home leg of the fixture, forcing AS Sale, who are one of the tournament’s favorite, to second best for the most part and another of such display can prove productive in Morocco Okpe told brila.net.
‘The pressure is on them; I know we can upset them. If we play better than what we did the last time, I know something will come out of the tie for us,’ he enthused.
