D’Tigers lose third consecutive game

After a third consecutive loss, to Australia, on Monday at the 2018 Gold Coast Games, Nigeria’s national basketball team, D’Tigers, will make their way from Australia thoroughly beaten in Pool A. The hosts proved too strong across all four quarters.
They won the first 23-17; the second 25-10; the third 28-14, and the fourth 21-14 for an easy 97-55 win despite Ikechukwu Diogu the highest points maker in the match with 19 points. D’Tigers lost their first match 110-65, then lost to Canada 82- 67. It was largely predicted before the start of the tournament that things wouldn’t be easy for the team that was comprised of six home-based players and six foreign-based players.
