They need to just lock-in on defend to get stops. We are not exactly great at initiating offense but our defence almost always leads to offense.

And they are doing just that.... Turned up the heat... Now need to keep up the tempo

Exactly. They did just as I said. That's really been Coach Rena's strategy since she took over. She somehow gets her players to commit to defence. It's how we were able to navigate the Olympics too. We have at best average offensive players, but our defence almost always leads to offense.

Yeah saw that yesterday, most of Kalu's points came from steals and transitions...

How I wish that last throw by Kalu was counted. 3points just went like that

How is Elizabeth Balogun still shooting 3s for Godsake? You have to be dumb to keep doing that at this point. She's literally shooting 5.6% from 3 the entire tournament and she keeps attempting it? Like why?

For context she's excluding today's game, she's attempted 18 3-point shots and has made just 1. She's however shooting 59% from 2s. She's however taken more 3s than 2s today. Rena has to rein her in.

Realsufi:
Must someone register before getting access to the match

Yeah

The buzzer sounded before she made that throw.. On official review, it was confirmed

For those still looking for one, you can watch the game here.

Though game so far....Mali has come a long way, however, i feel we gat this....

We need to attack the malian net more.....
We are allowing them too much time on the ball an space to shoot.....

Let's not replicate the previous 3rd quarter performance now. We cannot be chasing by that margin in this final. Rena should tell them that!

D'tigress have to stop giving up the lead and come out smoking in the 3rd and fourth quarters. We can win tonight though the Malians are very determined and want to win too. After this tournament, we need to build a very strong bench and team towards the FIBA Women's World Cup next year. We need to win to have an automatic qualification for the World Cup.

We need to pick this thing up and take the game to Mali. They will stay in the game as long as we let them.

Moment of truth......lets gooo

Strategy should be to be aggressive offensively and drive to the net to put them in foul troubles.

If we cannot use Vera Ojenuwa, Ejiofor and Ogoke , then we don't have a strong bench. We need to scour the world for ballers who can assist Kalu, Amukamara, Okonkwo, Musa and Macaulay towards the World Cup.

I honestly don't understand what is wrong with her

Call her name.....Ezinne.........

I don't blame her at this point if the coach doesn't rein her in. She's 1 of 21 from 3 so far in the tournament and keeps taking it.

Yes girls!!!

6 mins to history....
