Coach Ogoh Odaudu said he has advised his players to stay hungry as they try to snag a ticket to the 2023 World Cup, scheduled for 25 August through September 10 in Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
He revealed this after the narrow 72–63 win over Cote d’Ivoire at the Pavilhao Multiusos de Luanda in Angola on Friday.
Victor Ezeh led the Nigerian team to victory with 18 points and six rebounds. Israel Otobo added 13 points, and Kanyisola Odufuwa scored 12 points, and D’Tigers won three of the four quarters.
