D’Tigers qualifies for Finals of Afrobasket 2015

The Senior Basketball Team in Nigeria, D’Tigers has qualified for the Finals of the ongoing FIBA Afrobasket 2015 in Tunisia, after defeating Senegal with 79 – 88.
It was indeed a hard fought match, and a hard earned win by the D’Tigers who led through the first quarter, down in the second and third quarter, before a glorious fight back with a superb performance, especially by Chamberlain Oguchi.
The match deadlocked with 76 points apiece, before a courageous fight back in overtime (OT) by the D’Tigers to win the match by 88 points to 79.

The tension was palpable all around the court with both teams not giving an inch to each other.
So far in the Tournament, the team was able to pull through to the Quarter finals after spanking Mozambique with 83-47, and, the competition underdogs, Gabon with 88 – 64 points which led them to the Semi-Final leg with Senegal.
The Will Voigts led Team will now face the winner between host, Tunisia and Angola in the final.
