It was their third consecutive victory, following back-to-back wins against Turkey and Argentina.

The D’Tigress, however, opened a five-point lead in the second quarter, winning 16-11.

They further increased their lead with a 17-11 win in the third quarter.

However, it did not look too good for the D’Tigress in the final quarter, as they eventually lost 9-19.

The Nigeria Women’s basketball team is billed to face the United States of America in the quarter-final.
