D’Tigress biggest lead in a non-African tourney
Re: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by Danielnino00(m): 1:24pm On Feb 13, 2022
We are attempting very few 3 pointers today...Driving more to the paint and drawing lots of fouls..The strategy has worked...

Right!
Coach Hughley probably realized the Malians aren’t as skillful as his players, so the more fouls the Malians commit, the more pensive they’re key players would be.

I stopped watching in the 3rd qtr to save data.

The issue of starting slow must be addressed if we ever want to make a name in the world cup.

Nice job though. We have now qualified convincingly.

Re: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by Pidginwhisper: 1:45pm On Feb 13, 2022
Mehn! The 4th quarter curse hasn’t left us afterall. How could you throw away staggering 20points
Re: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by PDPGuy(op): 1:45pm On Feb 13, 2022

disgraceful 4th quarter tho...

congratulations on the qualification anyways... tigress would b d only african team at d worldcup
Re: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by carbonado(m): 1:59pm On Feb 13, 2022
we need to have a another true point guard.............Promise is not a true point guard. She is an off guard, she is been played out of position, i will give it her, she tried, having to play as a point guard, when you are not, at this level is not easy, she is my MVP...

1st Quarter: 20:22

2nd Quarter: 22:13

3rd Quarter: 22:9

4th Quarter: 9:25


that 4th quarter was ridiculous
Re: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by lovewins: 2:03pm On Feb 13, 2022
Congratulations Nigeria

Terrible 4th Quarter. How exactly did we let go of a 21 point lead?

The ladies a tenacious but we need fresh faces in the team. In my opinion we need to find replacement for the following players

1. Atonye
2. Pallas
3. Musa
4. Nkem

They simply went to sleep thinking the game was done and dusted after gaining a 21-point lead

disgraceful 4th quarter tho...

congratulations on the qualification and anyways
....Mali no come sell groundnut o,they also want to go to the world cup, If you followed the build up, you will know that we were really shorthanded, No true point guard in your team, going into a major tournament.......and also no good preparation, however, we came from 31 - 11 down to beat no 5 in the world in France. Basketball is not a straight line.....If it is a straight line, france should beat us too by atleast 8 points or there about.. Congrats Nigeria, back to back world cup......
Re: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by PDPGuy(op): 2:07pm On Feb 13, 2022
The NBBF need to do all they can to get Michaela Onyenwere to commit to D’Tigress, because she will be obviously a valuable forward
Re: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by ChangetheChange: 2:09pm On Feb 13, 2022
Yes we qualified

..yeap, we switched off, it also happened, with this Malian team in the finals of Afrobasket, remember they cut the lead down at the Afrobasket finals in the 4th quarter.

This i agree with, we need more quality........
Re: Nigeria Basketball Thread! by lovewins: 2:16pm On Feb 13, 2022
Another way of looking at the 4yh quarter debacle will be recognizing the fact that we prosecuted an entire tournament with 8 players. It can be mentally and physically draining. Musa and Nkem came in just for a few seconds in the 3rd quarter and that was it.

We must give it to the girls, that despite this deficits, they came through. We need new additions though

Convincing her won't be difficult, she's appears to be very pro-Nigeria. She only needs to be approached.

I also think we need size in the team. We should intentionally scout for tall players. That's what gives teams like the USA an advantage
