The Nigeria senior men’s basketball team, D’Tigers, have qualified for the final of the 2017 Afrobasket championship following their hard-earned 76-71 win over Senegal on Friday night. Though they were stretched, D’Tigers were on top of their game as they won three of the four quarters in Friday’s semifinal clash. At the end of the first quarter, D’Tigers established a-15-12 points lead over their opponents. The second and third quarters were also fiercely contested but the Nigerian men nicked it at 19-17 and 18-16. While Senegal won the final quarter 26-24, it was not enough to deny Nigeria a place in the final. Senegal were trying to reach the final for the first time since 2005; but they were denied yet again this time by D’Tigers who are keen on successfully defending the title they won two year ago. Nigeria will face Tunisia in Saturday’s final.

I'm happy they were able to dance a python dance into the final. No one expected them to go this far looking at their preparation. Thumbs up! 34 Likes |

Big ups to the lads. They've surpassed my expectations based on their initial performance. Tunisians wouldn't be easy prey though but I believe the guys will put up a very good show today and possibly cap it up with a win tonight ! 1 Like |

They should be able to beat Tunisia not minding home advantage. It's a surprise Angola didn't qualify for the final. |

Once you see the Maple leave, you think of Canada because it is indigenous to them. It still defies my rationalization when I question the origin of the Nigerian Basketball team's name. Why name them Tigers when there are no Tigers in the wild in Africa let alone Nigeria? A true nation proud of it's indigenousness should have named the team Squirrels, Antelopes or something more readily relatable to. 16 Likes 2 Shares

A tiger has multiple stripes, powerful jaws and sharp teeth. Why are Nigerian national teams obsessed with powerful wild animals like tigers, eagles and falcons? Are they really intimidating anyone with these ferocious animals? Does it mean they cannot defeat opponents without these aliases? Can this mediocre Nigerian team beat a high school team from the U.S? Why does international sport bodies like FIFA allow Nigeria to compete despite Nigeria being the most corrupted country in the world? I think it's high time Nigeria is banned from participating in all international sporting events. |

It's cool. We'll just keep both the male and female titles. Nigeria's the new powerhouse in African B/ball. I ain't a basketball fan but if its our guys doing anything out there then I 'm always a supporter. Congrats D'Tigers. |
