The Nigeria women’s national basketball team, D’Tigress, consolidated on their quest to win the 2017 Fiba Afrobasket Women Championship, at Bamako, Mali, by trashing the Guinean Women team 106-33. The D’Tigress had already qualified for the quarter finals but they continued their 100% record as they pursue their dreams of winning the championship since wining it 12 years ago.

With the emphatic victory, Nigeria has won all its games and is looking forward to land in the final of the competition.
