Mozambique is trashing Angola. That is the 4th team from our group knocking out the 1st team from the other group.

Mali vs Egypt might just be a lot more competitive than we thought.

freshest4live:
Mali doing their thing though, 27-39, Half- Time.

freshest4live:
Our group was indeed the group of death, all teams from our group so far have won the opposing team from group A, even Guinea the weeping girls from our group beat Tunisia.
Mozambique won 61-47

LagosEconomist:
If we really want to be wicked, we just let Senegal beat us today.

The winner of our group will face Mali in the Semi-Finals. I know we can beat Mali, I am not sure Senegal can.

We are the strongest team in the tournament, and all things being equal, we should beat Senagal by at least 15 - 20 points.

LagosEconomist:


I somehow wish I could have passed this on to the coach before our game vs Senegal. We could have taken an easy path to the finals (vs Mozambique) and qualification for the World Championships.

Mali will be tough, but I believe we will beat them well. I always prefer us to avoid the hosts though. Even our men lost to Tunisia in 2015 and our women lost to Cameroon in 2015 as well

D’Tigress Coach Hails Defence In CIV Rout, Set For Mali Semi

By Bamidele Boluwaji:

Nigeria’s D’Tigress coach Sam Vincent has praised his team after their 98-42 victory over Cote d’Ivoire in their FIBA Women’s AfroBasket quarter-final game on Friday to scale through to the semi-final stage, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

Nigeria will face hosts Mali in the semi-final game on Saturday.

Speaking to the Nigeria Basketball Federation media in Bamako, Mali, the American said the defence of the team was more aggressive in the game, promising more on Saturday.

“I thought we recovered a little bit more from the Senegal game in terms of getting our fast breaks going, pushing the ball a little bit higher and finishing well under the basket which we struggled to do against Senegal,” Vincent told NBBF media in Bamako

“I thought our defence was more aggressive. In the game against Senegal, we were down a little bit against the physical players, but we recovered to play a lot better.”

Vincent said despite not reaching the 100-point mark, a win is more important irrespective of the final result of the game.

He added: “I am excited about the defence against Cote d’Ivoire, we have only been together for just six games, yet it’s a team that is really competitive which shows how good they are and tomorrow will be a good test against Mali.”
