Senegalese men on Wednesday took revenge for their female counterparts who lost to Nigeria’s D’Tigresses in the Afrobasket for women last month as they stopped the all-conquering D’Tigers from advancing to the semifinals of the ongoing Afrobasket championship in Luanda, Angola.

?The Senegalese, who took the jump ball, got the first two points; but D’Tigers levelled up and ran neck to neck before the Nigerian men took the first quarter by a slim point victory at 24-23.

?The Senegalese came out smoking hot in the second quarter which they won by 12 points at 30-18 to go 53-42 at halftime.

?The nightmare continued for D’Tigers in the third quarter as they also lost by 10 points at 13-23, but their fight back in the fourth quarter which they won by five points at 20-15, didn’t mean much as the game ended 91-75 in favour of Senegal which reduced their head to head victories to 5-4 still in favour of D’Tigers.

?D’Tigers’ game leader and NBA star, Josh Okogie, was neutralised as he managed only four points as against the 33 he scored in a group game earlier.

?The game leader on both sides was Senegal’s Brancou Badio who scored 32 points with an efficiency rate of 29 percent. (Vanguard)
