Nigeria’s D’Tigers, Senegal’s Lions in Blockbuster Clash for S’final Ticket
Defending champion Tunisia was eliminated by Cape Verde in the quarterfinals of the ongoing 2025 Men's Afrobasket in Luanda, Angola, shaking up the tournament. Nigeria's D'Tigers, the 2015 champions, are set to face Senegal's Lions in a highly anticipated quarterfinal clash.
The Lions, seeking vengeance for their female counterparts' loss to Nigeria in the semifinals, pose a significant threat to the Tigers. Standout player Brancou Badio will be a key player to watch for the Senegalese side.
Tunisia's elimination came after a loss to Cape Verde, who outscored them in the third quarter to secure victory. The Tigers, led by Stan Okoye, are aiming for Afrobasket gold and will need a perfect game plan to overcome the Lions and advance to the semifinals.
