We need to stop our slow start to games.

67 :65

What a game.

Watched it.

Wow! What an impressive result against Almighty French!

Bear in mind that France are ranked 5th in the world, whilst D’Tigress are ranked 17th.

This has to be the most famous D’Tigress victory in, not only Nigerian basketball history, but African Women's basketball history!!

i told you guys that the first game was like practice..........The girls are getting themselves back...........we beat no 5 in the world.......The girls strated slow, but balled out.....in the end to finish France off.....

Our 3 point shooting also improved.

2nd and 4th quarters were tight, we didn't give them room to breathe.

. Yea very impressive.

We need to address slow starts, same thing happened in the China game. Congratulations to the girls

D’Tigress have qualified for the @FIBAWWC with one game to spare

We are no longer the Queen from Africa

We are now the Queen of Africa on a quest to conquer the world

@DtigressNG defeated France today for the first time in their history to go second in their group behind China

From @nbbfonline

D’Tigress carried THREE out of the four quarters!!

Please, where did you watch it?

If D’Tigress beat Mali on Sunday, then they will qualify for the World Cup; rendering the China v France game irrelevant

For the Sunday game vs Mali, the Malian’s will most likely try to gain most of their points in the paint, or through drives to earn free-throws.

Their 3-pt FG shooting % (18%) is too poor. So, I wouldn’t expect D’Tigress to be guarding the 3-point shooters as much as they did today.

BTW, Sunday’s game v Mali tips off at 12pm Nigerian time.
