We are in the same group with France 😁

...lol....

Nigeria vs France again...we just cant get a break from France....Draws on at the moment...

Feels like a repeat of last year, Uconn vs South Carolina.

Belt to ass.....Time out by Dawn.......

U.C.L.A came prepared.

Amaka Agugua-Hamilton has been fired by Virginia. That's crazy

....That school(Virginia) is madt, after she took them to the sweet 16(NCAA Tourney).

UConn starting like a house on fire...phew...might be a long night..

The goal is for Uche to do so well on national TV. Syracuse has no chance to win, but Uche giving a 5 star performance today is a win in my book.

...i get you, there are not too many Cinderella stories on the womens side of the bracket,however maybe and just maybe , .Ultimately just showing out is good enough for me, if they win better , however, very,very, slim...

Young players that i think should be giving opportunity to play for us
1) Oluchi Okananwa
2) Uche Izoje.
Also these people should invite Micheala....It seems the NBBF are just cool with the recent squad the way it is, who knows about the elections, has it held?

PDPGuy:
UConn head coach Geno Auriemma on Syracuse’s Uche Izoje:

“She’s the best player we’ve seen this year.”

“She knows exactly what shot she wants. She knows when she wants it, and from where, and there's not a lot you can do to keep her from getting it.”



Someone sounds scared 😁

....lol..i dont think he is scared though, more like worthy competition, He has the best player and so far best team in the country a.t.m....i hope Uche shows out today, win or lose..

Uconn VS Syracuse.....11:00 pm naija time....be there....L.S.U fan...I like Uconn too, however, not today, i am cheering for my own....Good luck to Uche out there tonight...

Who is marking that babe...why do we keep loosing our man so easily at this tournament...

elyte89:
Abeg give me link

....startimes too...

Better tempo so far in the 2nd qtr....

Low energy start....

Watched on and off...good showing by the ladies,also it seems one of our ladies was injured?If so,who got injured and hope it was not serious.

Coach Rena's winning strategy has always been defence to offense. She structures are team to give 200% on defence which in turn dictates offence. It's what has covered for this teams deficiencies cause they put significant effort on defence to get going.

That sadly just has been absent this tournament. When the energy is not there I'm defence the team will 100% lose as they just do not have an alternative arsenal and their deficiencies become obvious.

.....we barely had a few fast break points, we knew our shots were not falling, yet, when we had the chance to run a fast break, we waited to run set plays......We playing a 2-3 zone against a team that is hot is comical.........you play a 2-3 zone against a team that is looking to get to the rim, not the other way round. If we were going to play a zone, it would have been the 3-2 zone.

At this rate, i do not see us picking more than 2 wins......i do not see how this team beats Germany or France..

BascoVanVeli:
Turnovers, rebounding and referee decisions. Nothing else. How can Korea have more free throws than us when we have been to the rim twice as much.

...we went to the basket more because we could not get our shots to drop....going to the rim does not equate to fouls....

...If u cant shoot from the outside at this level, it will be hard for you to beat a decent team...because, all they have to do is keep collapsing on you....Referee decision did not make us loose by 17 point.........

Ultimately, it is time to start aggressively recruiting new young players..........When i saw the list i laughed, what is Ogoke still doing on the team...After the afrobasket, that should have been it. Most of our key players are over 30 years.....N.B.B.F better wake up.....

It is well...

What is this...you loose the ball,u do not run back for defence.......and u are down.......abysmal.....

High school basketball being played by us right now........

2-3 zone against a shooting team.....atleast use the 3-2 zone...

BascoVanVeli:
Not really. I feel the issue is our defense. If we get stops we will win the game.

...both....we were going under the screen initially...thn they started hitting their shots and grew more confident....if we start hitting the the outside shots, we will be able to stretch the floor more, hence more room to operate..

Ultimately not so impressive 1st half. hope we pick up the energy......not hitting the outside shots is hurting us....

Ezinne with 3 fouls, that is a problem....

I still see us winning, however, it should not be this hard....

omo...it is well....

We need to stop going under the screen....that gives the Koreans opportunity to shoot uncontested shots....

GOALAZO.....
