No longer in the running for title contention, Nigeria’s Junior D’Tigress will face a date with Argentina on Friday (today), as the classification rounds take place at the ongoing FIBA U-19 Women’s Basketball World Cup in Brno, Czechia.
The coach Juliana Akhere-led side were beaten 77-51 by Eastern European side Hungary in the round of 16 on Wednesday, to exit the race to become world champions. However, there is still pride to play for when they take on the South Americans at the Starez Arena Vodova Hall in Brno, for the right to finish in positions 9 to 16.
