game over. Hope we win the third place match to qualify for the olympics.

Ike Diogu is just 6'9 - we need a taller post player for the Olympics (if we qualify)..

Ekpe Udoh and Ezeli... And that other young boy that plays for Baylor..

BlackPikiN: Diogu and Dagunduro did well.

Rus 85- Nig 77

Cosign... Diogu is a double double threat but he needs help...

Aminu is just too lazy.

Not a bad tournament so far. I didn't even see our guys coming this far. Lituania and Russia qualify. We have to Puerto Rico to qualify. All the best. We don try

Was the russian coach asking Tony skinn to quit basketball because of his height? grin grin grin

I have watched Ben Uzor(Toronto Raptors) play against Ekpe Udoh(Milwaukee Bucks)

They are just above average players but they can still be useful to the national team.

The Russians are tall and are good at 3-pointers. end of.The Nigerians used mainly raw skill and tried to make 2-pointers most of the time. They sure lost it in the 2nd quarter when the Russians opened up like 20 point against Nigeria

But they have got length and they're better than Olumide Oyedeji... Udoh is slightly better than Ike Diogu as well..

We also need a better point guard, Skinn is not really that good.
Re: Basketball: Nigeria Vs Russia Today At 10.30pm UK Time by Nobody: 12:27am On Jul 08, 2012
In any case, the guys tried. A lot better than many other sports. Nice one D' Tigers.
Re: Basketball: Nigeria Vs Russia Today At 10.30pm UK Time by Nobody: 12:27am On Jul 08, 2012
Imagine a young Olajuwon on that team with the dream shake lol.

He'll drop 40 on those Russians. cheesy
Re: Basketball: Nigeria Vs Russia Today At 10.30pm UK Time by Nobody: 12:29am On Jul 08, 2012
They tried - Russia and Greece whooped the yankz a couple of years ago..

They're not really a bad team if they could smash Lithuania..

Get that olympics ticket tomorrow, guys. cool

Does anyone know if Ekene Ibekwe of the university of maryland is still in that team? What about Udoka? Now, I wish Emeka Okafor had agreed to play for Nigeria.

Ibekwe is a bum and Udoka the other bum has retired..

Udoka's sister was good, but she retired now. grin
Re: Basketball: Nigeria Vs Russia Today At 10.30pm UK Time by Afam4eva(m): 2:54am On Jul 08, 2012
How can they retire when there are no players to take their place. I also wonder why Ejike Ugbuaja and Kelenna Azubuike are not in this team.
Re: Basketball: Nigeria Vs Russia Today At 10.30pm UK Time by Nobody: 2:56am On Jul 08, 2012
Udoka is like 40 years old now, and Diogu is better than him... Kelena is a fool, he's still dreaming of playing for England..

Aminu is better than him anyway and he gets playing time in the NBA - Kelena is just a bench warmer.

I think Kelenna plays/or just signed for Cavaliers.

I think Ugboaja played today. He still plays for Nigeria.

Never new who Anthony Skinn was before today's game.

But he didn't play throughout the season that just ended.. He needs to give up his dreams of playing for England and play for Nigeria.. They already denied him a passport.

Lmao. Was he born in England or what? Why is he being stup1d? It's not like he's that much of a good player because like you said, he's been mating with the bench for a long time.

.

Wait a Minute!! Are we talking about the same Udoka here?? This dude can't be 40 yet, His sis Mfon is older and she's not 40 yet.I would say a loose estimate of 37 or 38 years for Mfon so Ime gotta be mid thirties

U guys r funny. Its good to be patriotic and all.... But seriously there is non way we can whupp those Russians. They are one of the best teams in Europe (if not the world sef) just being real guys. I'm surprised alfarooq Aminu should play for us afteralll he was a first round bust in the NBA. I would have been more comfortable with one of our home based players.

Said it yesterday. The boys are good but there are limits. And its wise to know your limits before you can exceed them.

You guys are just spreading some bad rumors, first off, Nigeria tried to reach out to so many players, Ezeli couldn't make the team because of draft commitments, Alabi and Uzoh wanted to focus on getting their NBA contracts sorted, and Udoka has a problem with the current Naija coach Ayo Bakare because of the way he disrespected his sister Mfon during the African female tournament, so he refused to come. If you want more information about Nigerian basketball, go to this site and read through or do a search nigerian-basketball..co.uk

Anyways we need to win today or else it's over
