The unprecedented feat of the record-breaking D'Tigress especially in FIBA 2018 have not gone unnoticed by FIBA president, Horacio Muratore.
“One of the best story lines of this Women’s World Cup without a doubt will be that Africa proved it has some very good teams in Nigeria and Senegal. “These are teams that can play against anyone and I congratulate both of them for their campaigns. “Senegal had a historic win (against Latvia) and a great game against Spain (in Wednesday’s Quarter-Final Qualifications). They made the tournament hosts tremble a bit. It would have been amazing for both African teams to reach the Quarter-Finals. “Nigeria outplayed the USA – the reigning world champions – in the first half of Friday’s Quarter-Final and got wins over Turkey, Argentina and Greece. This is extremely positive for African basketball and for the sport in general”.
