Yayy!!! Nigeria wins Tunisia 2015 Afrobasket
The Nigeria senior basketball team, D’Tigers, has emerged the African champion after beating the defending champion Angola at the finals of the 2015 Afrobasket with 65 – 74.
The team emerged champion of the tournament for the frst time ever as they create a record for the Nation.
The game started on a low-key note for the Nigerian team when the first quarter ends 13 – 10 in favour of the Angolans, the game seemed to change when Olumide Oyedeji was substituted for Chamberlain Oguchi after he was roughly tackled.
Nigeria bounced back with speed to win the second after resisting the physically strong Angolans,
they later played 24 – 37 to end the quarter. However, the Angolans nailed their own coffin in the game by conceding a lot fouls which was twice as much as the D’tigers.
KD BLOG sports recalled, the Nigerian team were bundled out of the 2013 Afrobasket at the Quarter-finals after putting up a shambolic performance. The introduction of Will Voights an american Coach seems to be the joker as the team is comprise of 80% of the same boys that played in 2013.
Third Quarter ends in 36 – 51 with the Angolans who seemed demoralized
Host of the Tournament, Tunisia came third after dumping Senegal.
