If D’Tigers beat China on Sunday, they would become the second team to have ‘realistically’ qualified for the Olympics. Australia were the first team to qualify for the Olympics. |
I take back what I said earlier. The China match will be the last game at the word cup for D’Tigers. After the game, they will simply be given a rank based on their overall points/PD |
Canceling primaries/caucuses is totally democratic, regardless of which party is doing it. In a fair and just system, the incumbent president shouldn’t be afraid of a primary challenge, and the national party shouldn’t be a mere appendage of the sitting president.

The Nigeria v. China game tips off at 1pm, Nigerian time, on Sunday. |
Injera:Correct. If we lose to China, and Angola beats Tunisia, all three teams will finish on 7 points. Then, Nigeria’s superior points difference should see us clinch the Olympic ticket. However, if D’Tigers beat China, and Tunisia beats Angola, Nigeria will also most likely clinch the automatic Olympic ticket due to a superior points difference. |
somehow:Unfortunately, the Filipinos lost to Tunisia |
Fun fact: The win over Ivory Coast was the 6th ever D’Tigers victory at the FIBA World Cup. Previously, the team had won two games, each, at the 1998, and 2006 world cups. |

KNIGHTBlaed:Not quite. If we beat China, we get to play one of the other group winners in the next classification round |
KNIGHTBlaed:Yes. Per the FIBA rules, if Oladipo had obtained a Nigerian passport by age 16, he will still be eligible to play for Nigeria. The ball is now in the NBBF’s court to convince him to switch to the best African team. |
KNIGHTBlaed:The defense greatly improved in that quarter, forcing the Ivorians to make more difficult 2-point attempts. |
3rd quarter underway |
Angola are presently leading Iran 29-26 in the 2nd quarter |
Half time: Nigeria 37-35 CIV. D’Tigers need to move the ball better when in offense, especially around the paint. |
Nigeria leads 37-35, with 1:08 left in the 2nd quarter |
End of 1st quarter Nigeria 24-18 CIV |
KNIGHTBlaed:Dude already has two massive blocks |
Nigeria 24-14 CIV |
What a block from Eric!! |
Jordan Nwora is unavailable due to injury |
Game on! Nigeria 8-4 CIV 1st qtr |
Team USA thorough thrashed Japan 98-45! Imagine if the likes of Curry, Lebron, Kawhi, and Durant were part of this team, it could have been a 120-point win ![]() |
Neimarjnr:Leading by over 50 points! |
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. |

D’Tigers next game is against Ivory Coast on September 6 |
KNIGHTBlaed:The classification games will determine whether D’Tigers finish anywhere from 32nd to 16th position. The team has qualified for the Olympic |
FT: Puerto Rico 67-64 Tunisia |
Puerto Rico 67-64 |
Tunisia must lose |
Hoping for D’ Tigers |
The next round of qualifiers holds later this month |
