Assistant coach of Nigeria’s women basketball team Peter Ahmedu has stated that D’Tigress is set and ready for whatever tactical approach Mali will unleash ahead of today’s semi-final tie against Nigeria.
Ahmedu speaking in a chat with www.brila.net said the coaches took out time to monitor Mali in their quarter-final win over Ivory coast to pick valuable information.
He added that the Malians will come tough again because of how they lost to Nigeria two years ago by just a point at home but stressed that Nigeria’s D’Tigress will be set for any kind of challenge from Mali.
“The Tigress are very focussed and we are also trying to make sure we put finishing touches by going to watch the Malians.
The Malians are nevertheless not the underdog in the Afrobasket. 2017 we defeated them by a point in their very home and here in Dakar, it’s going to be a different ball game.”
