Nigeria's point guard, Caleb Agada, has admitted that his team lacked the energy and intensity to defeat South Sudan in their recent 82-79 loss. D’Tigers were unable to maintain their performance throughout the game, despite pushing towards the final moments. South Sudan dominated the match, taking a 30-19 lead after the first quarter and holding their nerve in the closing stages.
Agada praised South Sudan for their approach to the game and credited Cameroon for their work rate and energy. Nigeria currently stands fifth in Group E, with the top two teams qualifying automatically for the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup. The team must improve against Cape Verde, who are sixth in the group, in their final game of the current qualifying window.
