The VAR guy for this Man City v Spurs game is not competent. That was a CLEAR foul by Alderwereld

Barryseal:
I'm actually talking about the last Afro basket in Tunisia where we came 2nd. Aminu wasn't part of the team. With him we could have retained the title.

Bottom line remains we are not doing well as a country. Look at the indoor gym they are playing this championship in Senegal, top class gym you have there. In Abidjan, they have anothee world class gym which hosted the Afro basket in 2015. All in West Africa.

Have you seen our national gym at the stadium in Surulere? Elementary schools in Texas have better gyms than that.
This is supposed to be our best facility.

Looking at the statistics, the Malians are better with their 3-point shooting and free-throw conversions. In fact, the Malians have converted 76% of the free throws!!.
D’Tigress need to keep to the barest minimum, the fouls they commit in the paint.

Fun facts:

Both Nigeria and Senegal have the most number of players who are 6ft or taller - eight players, each on both teams.

Standing at an impressive 6’6”, Maimouna Diarra of Senegal is the tallest player at this tournament.

Nigeria are the only team that has won all 12 quarters in this tournament shocked

somehow:
We are recording enough points and conceding less but we are struggling behind the arc.

Can the coach work on our 3 pointers? To take on the world, you must know how to hit from the arc in case you meet a better defensive side.

I’ve noticed the same thing. The team surely needs to improve on its 3-point shooting, free throw conversions, and the shots outside the paint.

The Malians and Senegalese would watch our previous games and decide to defend the paint vigorously, which would frustrate D’Tigress. I expected Macaulay to be one of the best 3-point shooters, but she hasn’t really delivered.

Maybe the coach and the NBBF need to scout more Nigerian-Americans who play regularly in NCAA tournaments and/or the WNBA, who can shoot more accurately beyond the arc and are 6’3” or taller.

I’m addition to qualifying for the semifinals, D’Tigress have also advanced to the Olympic pre-qualifying tournament.

The Olympic prequalifying tournament will feature the top 6 Afrobasket teams.

Then, the top 2 teams in the prequalifying tournament advance to the Olympic qualifying tournament, which will feature 4 groups of 3 teams. The top two teams in each group will qualify for the Olympics.
