PDPGuy:

The classification games will determine whether D’Tigers finish anywhere from 32nd to 16th position.
The team has qualified for the Olympic

The simple truth.

We must rank well in the classification round than all other African countries to clitch the qualification.

We are in group M (Classification games)

Made up of

Nigeria
South Korea
Ivory coast

And one other country.(China *)

So we are likely to play Ivory coast or China.

Mehn...I still feel bad over the defeat to Russia. .that game was there for us to win.. Anyway the Olympic ticket is enough consolation... and given the fact that the team is still young I believe they will get better.....and they will learn from their mistakes in the tournament...

The NBBF should try and keep them busy before the Olympics...

We are yet to get the olympics ticket.

TheSuperNerd:
It is Official! We have definitely sealed automatic ticket to Tokyo 2020. The odds all went in our favour.

Next up is simply the Classification games....

Big Congrats D'Tigers!!

Only if we best the other African countries in overall placement

Okay then. will take this for now but still not that convinced.

We have 2 more games to go according to Vincent.

Another player during press conference just said we will know if we have won the ticket after the next 2 matches.

Take home.
We scored 15 3 pointers
Had almost 25 assists
Great improvement

not just against Russia,
the coach had to take the blame for the two lose we record in dis competition

D’Tigers next game is against Ivory Coast on September 6

.

Looks like the info mix up has been fixed... like you said, we are yet to punch that ticket for sure.



From @queenjohn4 (Queen Moseph, BBall reporter)

"A little clarification. D'Tigers have classification games 17th-32nd to rank teams. We are ahead of Tunisia looking at our points diff.

We play Ivory Coast and either Venezuela/China next.

The highest ranked of African team picks the automatic slot"

Win that and we are a step closer to Tokyo. I expect a win. CIV is no match for this team.

Please not China.. They are the host and would be difficult to beat

Post Game Reaction

Michael Eric after the game:

"We need to play together and it did show in the stat because everyone contributed. We are going to shock the world if not now but at the Olympics. We will stay together and trust the process."

Neimar:
They want to go to the Olympics to do what?

Oga take it easy Na.. Wetin we do you Na? Or you're Ghanaian?

Yea we will dispatch CIV and China easily.

I don't want Venezuela
There are also good at 3pts which we find difficult to defend.

See how they are doing China.

BTW, we have good 3 pts shooters too but the selection from the coach is a big issue.

True this.

The Serbia - Italy game is very hot..

I don't see any clear favorites for the tournament yet but Team USA has an edge from what I've seen so far

God 4bid
I actually love the team but they always underperform

No we haven't. It will be determined by the Classification games.

We play Ivory Coast first. If we win, we would play China.

They made a mistake. Check again they must have corrected it by now.

Try read to the end of the thread before quoting. The clarification have been posted already. Thank you.

Like i said before the tournament began, it's either the United States or Serbia for the trophy.

D’Tigers will be in Group M, alongside China, Ivory Coast and South Korea. The group schedule is as follows:

September 6: Nigeria v Ivory Coast at 9am
China v. South Korea

September 8: Ivory Coast v. South Korea
China v. Nigeria at 1pm

Apparently, because we faced South Korea in the preliminary round, D’Tigress will only play 2 games in the group.

Olympic qualification already in the bag

7 countries get automatic Olympics ticket from the fibawc without having to play in the Olympics qualifiers - top two teams from Europe and America and top teams from Asia, Africa and Oceania.

US team dealing ruthlessly with Japan
OMG
