Nigeria Vs Tunisia : Basketball Olympics 2012: 60 - 56 On 29th July 2012 by Dhelake: 11:41pm On Jul 28, 2012

Fresh from clinching their very first Olympic basketball berth in the just recently concluded FIBA qualifying tournament, Nigeria looks to settle their score against Africa rival Tunisia in the opening day of the men’s basketball tournament in the 2012 London Olympics.

Backed up with NBA talents like Ike Diagu and Al-Farouq Aminu, the Nigerian salvaged the final Olympic berth after thwarting the heavy favored Dominican Republic 88-73.

Meanwhile, Tunisia captured an automatic berth in the London Games after winning the gold medal in last year’s 2011 FIBA Africa championship.

If we would only consider talent, Nigeria has the roster that could compete against tough teams from Europe and South America.

However, Tunisia proved from time-to-time again that they can thrive against talented teams as they showed last year in their semifinal win against Nigeria and former African hoops powerhouse Angola.

The Nigeria-Tunisia will be a physical game as emotions run high between the two African rivals. In the end, Nigeria will salvage their first and perhaps only victory in Group B, where Lithuania, Argentina, France, and the United States are also pitted.

We have to beat the smaller teams in the group if we want to qualify. Playing the US will be very tough.
