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.

It seem to me that all the first placed team across the 4 groups will be ranked 17-20 based on there points differentials, the second placed teams likewise.
If I am right then we still have to beat China to qualify author automatically.
Or if Angola beats Tunisia and we lost to China
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.

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.

Points difference I suppose. And we lead massively from that aspect.. I'm happy we will play the host, all attention will be on us. A nice way to end the tournament on a high note grin grin grin grin
Not quite. If we beat China, we get to play one of the other group winners in the next classification round

We will be Massive at the Olympics..

Just to ask... Can Oladipo still play for Nigeria?
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.

Better defense, winning both defensive and offensive rebounds, making easy baskets and spacing the floor. This is more like it from the Tigers.
The defense greatly improved in that quarter, forcing the Ivorians to make more difficult 2-point attempts.

D’Tigers need to move the ball better when in offense, especially around the paint.

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.
