[quote author=MSGAMBLE9 post=136480185]Is he that good?[/quote

Mike Nuga can be a beast on his good day on court.

carbonado:
....Well, was wondering why their head coach was watching...

He was watching the game so as to study Dtigers in the eventuality of Egypt clashing against Nigeria. One thing about this Dtigers squad is that it is not built around one player. Look at how Josh Okogie turned up against Tunisia while Agada was quiet. Same as Nwamu. Mke Nuga has not really played to his best in this tourney and has had limited time on court. Coach Abdulrahman seems to know what he is doing.

We have Mike Nuga in Dtigers Squad. Maybe he will be unleashed against Cameroun on Sunday. God is with our Dtigers.

carbonado:
does any one have the brackets. The Egyptians are in the gym...they are scouting us..

I don't think the Egyptians will stop the march of Dtigers this year. Let them do all their scouting and spying. We will settle the business on the court. No wahala. Yes, Egyptian basketball is on the rise. However, Nigeria has a basketball history and Afrobasket success rate than the Egyptians. Cheers.

Dtigers have to beat Tunisia tomorrow to show that they are serious about winning this year's Afrobasket tournament. I believe Nigeria can do it- Beat Tunisia. Our squad is good .

KRAWDEL:
Chatted him for eggs, he was calling outrageous price and acting rude. When he saw that I know the actual price, he din bother to reply my chat again.

He is a serial scammer. Beware of him. Don't pay into any POS account he gives you. He is very crafty. Take care, Nairalanders.

The teams to fear at the 2025 Men's Afrobasket hosted by Angola are Senegal, Ivory Coast, Tunisia ( I believe Tunisia will be dethroned at this tourney ), Angola and Mali. We should be wary of the French speaking countries. They will mount a stiff challenge to Tunisia's dominance this year. Ah, if South Sudan is coming to the party, we should beware of that Nation too. I believe Dtigers will win this competition. Cheers.

We will sink or float in Angola and this will boil down to COACHING. The squad is made up of good players. Some of them have Afrobasket experiences while others have been to the Olympics or played in the BAL or during the qualifying games. I am confident in this Squad of Dtigers. Coaching will play a huge part to determine if we will come back to Abuja with the trophy. The return of Stan Okoye to the team is good news. Okoye knows how to hustle and can be very dangerous on the offensive. He is also very experienced and tough to play against. Josh Okogie is a top player with enough NBA experience. Okogie is a seasoned basketball player. Same as Ike Nwamu and Talib Zanna. Talib Zanna and Nwamu have been part of the national team since 2017/2019. Nwamu played at the 2017 Afrobasket where Nigeria came 2nd. Zanna played the 2019 World Cup qualifying games for Nigeria. I think he made the World Cup squad eventually. Omogbo has Afrobasket experience and has been in and out of the team over the last 5 years. Caleb Agada was outstanding in the last BAL. Agada is a candidate for the MVP award of this Afrobasket which will kick off on Tuesday.

Hmn. Why don't you get calabashes and bottles , pour chicken blood into them and tie red clothes around them and tie them to sticks or poles around your farm? Look for a dead cow's skull and tie red cloth around it and place it at the entrance of your farm. Shikena . The fear of juju is respected than God in this nation.

Our Dtigers players are not as committed like their female counterparts. Guys like Gabe Vincent , Jahlil Okafor and Miye Oni should be in Abuja camp since last Friday. This is our chance to win our 2nd Afrobasket title in Angola. We need all the firepower we can amass for this tournament kicking off next week. We still have a group of talented guys in Abuja right now. And with Josh Okogie suiting up, we have a better squad that can win the cup. I will analyze our squad later today or tomorrow. Cheers, guys.

Oh my comment wasn't made in consideration of Ejiofor. I personally do not think Ejiofor should be in the team at all Ebo or not. I was speaking specifically about Ebo and the prospects and potentially I think she has.

.

Ejiofor and Ogoke's spots on D'tigress roster are up for grabs at the next training camp before the World Cup in Germany. Elizabeth Balogun also needs to watch her back as open camps will throw up new players who can challenge her for a place in the team. I believe Sarah Ogoke should retire and work as a backroom staff of D'tigress. She can also face her medical job squarely. As for Ojenuwa, we have not seen her play a full game yet. Cheers.

PDPGuy:
I agree that new players should be, at least, tried out before the World Cup to further bolster the team.

Thank goodness that, as African champions, D’Tigress could use the 5 games at the March Olympic qualifying tournament to try out different strategies/tactics and also gauge how the new additions would fit into Wakama’s system.

Even at that, I doubt whether Wakama would ring in wholesale changes to her team. She would, at most, bring in 2-3 new faces.

New and more gifted players are out there waiting to be integrated into the D'tigress squad for the World Cup. This is why the NBBF should organize lengthy training camps in the USA and Nigeria. The ladies should be in Nigeria for at least three weeks before jetting out to Berlin, Germany for the World Cup. D'tigress need to play in friendly tournaments in Europe and the USA in order to see the new camp invitees in action. So, we need a program for the World Cup and next Olympic games.

Yes, we have won. However, we need to start working on our squad. Kudos to Coach Otis Hughley for bringing players like Amy Okonkwo , Pallas , Victoria Macaulay, Murjanatu Musa and Elizabeth Balogun into the D'tigress squad. Coach Rena needs to go hunting for ladies that will make her work easier at next year's FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Germany. We need a strong bench . We need a pen camp or camps in Europe , USA and Nigeria. Cheers.

We aren't talking about a complete overhaul... What we want is an injection of better players in the team...in Africa, this team of ours is the best...but on the global stage, they can't compete that well, hence the need for better players

We need to be able to compete on the global stage. These ladies that won tonight were injected into the team gradually from 2018. We need a lengthy training camp before the World Cup next year. Training Camp must be open so that gifted players can show up and display what they have to offer. This was what was done before the 2018 World Cup by Otis Hughley. Invitations should also be sent out to some players to come for camping. At least, we need 5 new gifted players in this squad.

Congrats to D'tigress. 5 times in a row as Champions. Wow. Glory be to God.

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.

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.

I am not following live scores this time around. I don't want to give myself hypertension.. D'tigress, sit up o.

Senegal frightened us last night. We meet another tough opponent today. Our D'tigress should be relentless in scoring today. All quarters must be won.

I almost had hypertension last night as D'tigress battled Senegal. Another battle again today na wa o. We will win by God's grace.

At one point, I thought Nigeria would lose the game. I am relaxed and happy now. Senegal really gave us a game tonight. Kudos to D'tigress once more. Our ladies made a great comeback to achieve this victory. I believe we will lift the trophy tomorrow. By God's grace, we will be champions tomorrow.

Senegal 58: Nig 52...End of 3rd qtr...

Very tough game for D'tigress. The tension is too much. We lost the third quarter.

We need to come out strong in the 3rd quarter. Macaulay is the ace tonight.

Very tough game. We need to win all the quarters. We have won two, two quarters to go and we will be victorious. We will win tonight. Amen.

Very good of her. She honours God all the time. She will go very far in her football career. God is great. Kudos, Rasheedat.

We will be facing Otis Hughley in the Semi finals. And knows most of our ladies. We shall overcome Senegal.

Yes, D'tigress must be ruthless and relentless.

We have a lot of work to do. I still have faith that we will lift the trophy once more. More firepower, D'tigress.

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

PDPGuy:
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.
