D’Tigress of Nigeria on Saturday continued their impressive run in the 2017 FIBA AfroBasket for Women holding in Bamako, Mali as they crushed Congo 84-47 points in their second game of the tournament.
The coach Sam Vincent-led side opened the first quarter with 23-8 points lead and added another 18 points while the Congolese had the upper hand in the quarter with 22 points to end the first half with 41-30 points in favour of the Nigerian women.
