According to the rules, the home team is mandated to wear light colours, while the away team pulls on dark colours.
Ndejje Angels needed a result to arrest their poor run of form that left them rooted at the base of the National Basketball League by the time the first round came to a close.
And that result came Saturday morning with the team not having to break a sweat when they were awarded a walkover against Kampala Rockets.
The two sides showed up for the game wearing similar colours, and it was the Rockets that were on the wrong end of the law, forcing Fuba officials to make the easy decision of awarding Ndejje victory.

BASKETBALL Tonny Drileba triple-double sinks Namuwongo Blazers
Drileba shot three-for-10 from the field and sank three-of-four free throws as the champions cruised to a 20-point game.
According to the rules, the home team is mandated to wear light colours, while the away team pulls on dark colours.
It is not the first time the Rockets have found themselves in a similar situation, having been culprits in the first-round clashes with Namuwongo Blazers and Rezlife Saints.
But it is the first time a walkover has been awarded. There was a compromise in the first two cases but not this time round.

BASKETBALL JKL leapfrog JT Lady Jaguars with classic victory
Imanishimwe scored a game-high 17 points, while Longom added 13. Brenda Ekone, with 10 points, was the only other JKL player to score in double figures.
The decision means that the Rockets lost the game by forfeiture (20-00) and dropped to a 3-9 record.
With no point awarded to a team that loses by forfeiture, the Rockets will undoubtedly be bottom of the log sooner rather than later.
On the other hand, Ndejje recorded their fourth win of the campaign as they started the second round on track.
