Following their outstanding performance in the just concluded Olympic Games in Paris, Great Britain basketball star Holly Winterburn has heaped praises on the Nigeria’s D’Tigress.
The Nigerian side surprised the World of basketball by reaching the quarter final of the competition despite being ranked lowest on the power rankings.
Recall that they defeated Australia in the opening game, lost to the host France in the second game and came back stronger in the 3ed to beat Canada.
The Rene Wakama side bowed to the superior power of the United States in the last 8.
“Nigeria put the whole world on notice, they are very well coached and super exciting to watch on the court with their intense style of play”, she said. Wakama was adjudged as the best coach in the tournament.
