Tiger Poker, August 27, Nigeria men's basketball captain Ike Diogu in a recent interview with the media talked about the prospects of the Nigerian men's basketball team in this World Cup.
The 12 players on the Nigeria men's basketball squad are all participating in the World Cup for the first time, and Diogu said it would give the team extra momentum.
"It's significant because none of us have played in the World Cup and the only time we had a chance to qualify in the qualifying round was at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, but we ended up losing in the quarter-finals. Every player in the team is playing in the World Cup for the first time and we want to make sure we can do something special. Diogu said.
Speaking about the squad, Diogu said: "We have a lot of good young players and we are all very excited to be able to play for Nigeria in the right way. We are well prepared and look forward to having a successful World Cup trip. Personally, we know how good we are, we have a great group of talented players from the NBA and high-caliber Europa Leagues and we have to come together. If we can play like a whole, I think we should be able to compete with any opponent. ”
The list is as follows: Vincent Nnamdi, Chimezier Metu, Ike Diogu, Ike Iroegbu, Michael Eric, Ben Yuzo, Al Farouk Aminu, Talib Zannah, Stanley Okoye, Jordan Wola, Epai Yudu, Josh Okoji.
In this World Cup, Nigeria is in Group B with Russia, Argentina and South Korea, and the group stage is held in Wuhan.
