President of Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF), Igoche Mark, has showered encomiums on the Nigeria Senior Women Basketball team, D’Tigress and the coaching crew over the team’s heroic display despite losing narrowly in their first game with the Peoples Republic of China at the FIBA Women’s World Cup Qualifiers in Belgrade, Serbia.
The reigning African Champions lost 76- 90 to the Asian giants, who are at present, the 7th ranked team in the world.
While commending the team for their courage and resilience during the tension soaked game, Igoche charged the ladies to take positives from the loss, which he described as a stepping stone to a better outing in their next game against European heavyweights France, on Friday.

A total of 16 countries are presently in Serbia slugging it out in the qualifiers, for slots at the FIBA World Cup scheduled to hold from September 22 to October 1, 2022, in Australia.
