D’Tigers followed up their victory over Mali on Sunday with a defeat to hosts Angola in their second game at the ongoing FIBA AfroCan tournament in Angola on Monday.
Angola won 57-48 and have progressed to the 2023 FIBA AfroCan quarterfinals after consecutive wins over Mali and Nigeria. The home-based Nigerian team would have to go through the classification round route for a chance to make it to the quarterfinal.
D’Tigers were undone by their sloppy start in Monday’s contest, as the Angolans had built a 19-point lead at halftime, which they never relinquished.
