Morans will play the final against Group B rivals DR Congo who narrowly edged out stubborn Angola 84 - 78 in another scintillating semi-final.

Kenya's absence from the continental affairs for a long time played to their advantage against dominant Morocco.

As a result, Morocco went into the game underrating what Morans were capable of, and it proved costly to them as they found themselves trailing by 31 points to Cliff Owour side heading into the fourth quarter.

Morocco's point guard Sami Al Uariachi and Soufiane Kourdou effort to turn the tide to their favour proved futile thanks to Eric Reuben Mutoro and Tylor Ongwae who had the last laugh.

The the duo registered 52 points with the Ulinzi Warriors guard man; Mutoro scoring 30 points.

The journey has not been easy as they had to squeeze past the continental Basketball giants Ivory Coast 85 - 83 in the Round of 16; to reach quarters, before edging out favorites Tunisia 82 - 76 in an overtime affair during the quarter-final.

Morans will hope to improve against DR Congo on Saturday's final having lost to the Congolese, 65 - 82 in the group phase before bouncing back against Nigeria to win 69 - 81 in Group B.

Men to watch for, on Saturday evening final; 

Kenya's Tylor Ongwae with a record of 22.2 points per game and Congolese Maxi Munanga Shamba 20.7 points per game.
