Mark Mentors on Friday defeated Savannah Conference leaders, Kano Pillars, 79-66 to win the 2015 DSTV Premier Basketball League inside the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium, Lagos.
With the result, Mark Mentors will now represent Nigeria in the FIBA-Africa Club Champions Cup as winner of the DSTV sponsored league.
