@BballNaija Playoff basketball is back and that “it’s that time again” energy already feels loud. Who’s your lock to survive the first series?

"We did the same thing we set out to do, one thing that we talked about is we (want) to get more shots than our opponents. Again we got 13 more shots than them (South Sudan), we got great looks...we give credit to South Sudan they are a proven team"

- David Fizdale (D'Tigers Coach)

[Mike Gozie @Etop1Obi]

@BballNaija @SSBFed The only hope is the D'Tigress...
The only senior team that can still hold its own in Africa. 🙃

[FPL Feezee @iam_Feezee]

@BballNaija @SSBFed 3 Points loss dey pain sha.

[Kenny Bamidele @BigKensyn]

Can't lie, they tried today. South Sudan clearly had better team chemistry, and that made a big difference.

For Nigeria, you could see that the team is still trying to integrate a couple of new players, and it reflected big time in the way they played.

Had the Iroegbu brothers and Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu been available, I honestly believe we would have put up an even better performance.

BACK TO BACK DEFEATS!

A valiant effort but D'Tigers fall short

World Cup Qualification now looks very very slim

Cape Verde is the next game on Sunday

[OMEIZA @NorthBankEchoo]

@BballNaija @SSBFed Nonsense. The presidency need to reform basketball 🏀 too, enough of all this.

[Pedro Onyeka @pedronyeka]

@BballNaija We were disappointingly poor!!!

Terrible defence, loose shooting, etc. Not sure they will get a win in this window (they should forget the Cape Verde game).

[Arc. Mbk Adewale. U @MubarakGold1]

@BballNaija @SSBFed A very poor team.. missing 3points like free gift.
That guy on glasses is so poor. . We miss Akobundu.
All these bunches are so overrated even the OGs.

[BballNaija @BballNaija]

Sadly, we didn't.

[Triedstone Sports @TriedstonSports]

@NigeriaBasket has to respond today.
After that disappointing defeat to Cameroon, there is no room for another flat performance.

The question is, will we see the hunger, intensity & discipline that were missing yesterday?

I'm confident we will win today. 🇳🇬🏀

[UCHE 🏀🇳🇬 @uch3_D_Fanatik]

For Nigeria 🇳🇬 to beat South Sudan 🇸🇸 today, expect a much better start needed — yesterday's 14-point opening quarter deficit against Cameroon can't repeat. Response starts in Q1.
