Redman44:
Ugonne Onyiah
Gabrielle Abigor

Anyone knows more about the ladies above? They play in basketball in the USA and one plays in the WNBA.

None of them plays in the WNBA. Uginne Onyiah just joined a college team (Syracuse).

Omohh honestly we can't play like this against Senegal or Uganda or Mali. Converting free throws was an issue today.

Mozambique is stronger than Uganda and Mali. They always stress us than Mali and Senegal etc. I don't just know why the Mozambique ladies don't always avoid Nigeria and make it to the final . I believe our ladies will play better in the remaining games.

Onyiah and Abigor are Nigerian-Americans. We need a stronger squad for Berlin next year. Our current squad is ageing and then we really need some very gifted players that can turn games around. Kiki and Michaela should heed the call to play for Nigeria. I believe we have 4 spots on the D'tigress squad that are open for grabs towards the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup. Cheers.

I mistook Onyiah got Izoje Uche who just got recruited to Syracuse, both of whom where invited to camp, but not sure why they didn't make it. Not sure any of Onyiah and Abigor are solutions to our situation though. Yes Kiki and Onyewere yes, but Abigor is a sophomore who averaged 2 points in her first year of college. She needs time to develop.

D’Tigress will meet the winner between Cameroon and Angola on July 31 at 10pm Nigerian time..

Interestingly, Otis Hughley lost his first ever Women’s Afrobasket match, following Senegal’s loss to Uganda yesterday.

It’s confirmed. 2025 Women’s Afrobasket quarterfinals:

D’Tigress v Cameroon, later today, at 10pm Naija time..

D'tigress need to be clinical at the basket and be very careful going forward. Some nations are really skillful at this tournament. We must not be complacent or we will pay for it. Teams like Ivory Coast and Mozambique can be very difficult to subdue. Ivory Coast being the host nation might want to spring a surprise if Dtigress meets them. Cheers.

It is why the inclusion of Sarah (who by the way is reportedly yet to arrive) is still very annoying, Every last person counts and playing with one roster sports shows we aren't showing respect for our opponents. I also think South Sudan is one to watch seeing what their guys have been able to do, wouldn't be surprised if the girls also put up a shocking surprise.

Like I predicted, South Sudan just qualified for the Semi-Finals by beating Uganda. Amazing.

Exactly. But I think the ladies would have developed better chemistry after playing two games - one tough and ‘easy’ game.

Doesn't look tough to me...

We should be home and dry by the 3rd quarter....

End of 1st qtr: 21:9....advantage Nigeria...

They're locked in. This will be an easy win.

Great start. I love that they are not settling and driving straight to the basket. This will free their shooters up as the game goes on.

The motivation is high, love the drive.
Ami Okonkwo and Victoria Macaulay have been exceptional

If we overcome Cameroun tonight, the game against Senegal will be EPIC. We just have to really play well.

Rena is not using Murjanatu enough for me. We need her hustle and shot making
