They tried.

The 2nd quarter was their undoing.

The second quarter you mean...
Re: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by carbonado(m): 7:27am On Jul 27, 2021
The ladies gave a good account of themselves. I still believe the ladies can get to the quarters finals at least.

Even though the ladies lost, I'm happy that they fought back. At least it will give them the required confidence and boost for their remaining two games. Also, if it comes down to point difference , we will stand a chance for qualification because we narrowed down the loss

...it most likely going to come down to point difference, as i heard that Japan beat France, 74 -70, which was not expected, this blows the group wide open for the remaining 3 team except for the U.S, every team wants to qualify, we play France next,and they will come out like a wounded lion. I also heard the Japan has a Nigerian on their team..The group is tougher than i expected, but we have the quality to get out of it.

Against Japan won't be easy... Home advantage will help them...don't count against the getting dubious calls in their favour....

That's true... But sometimes, some teams are at better advantage

Not bad. Emegano is actually a confident shooter. Same with Nwora.

I have been having irregular sleep pattern since Tokyo 2020 started.

Another 2am to stay up after staying up to watch some of the basketball games and that of our girls.

D Tigers, please do not make me regret not sleeping tonight.

He hasn't really made any impact since the game against this US.

We need all our shooters to be on point.

The Germans are turnover masters, lets use it to our advantage.

We seems to be stronger too than most of our opponents, let's bring that to the table.

Lastly, let's make use of all free throws, our ladies had a massive 86% free throw ratio, the guys should not fall my hands!
