Vaal University of Technology (VUT) claimed their 11th University Sport South Africa (USSA) basketball title after beating University of Pretoria (TUKS) 65-49 to be crowned 2021 USSA Women’s Basketball champions.
VUT led 42-25 at half time and kept building pressure and intensity to blaze ahead to 60-29 by the end of Q3.
VUT’s win should come as no surprise. They have been building a winning reputation for many years. Before Covid-19 and the cancellation of tournaments, they won the 2019 USSA Basketball Champs and the debut basketball tournament at Varsity Cup.
