The only advantage Cameroon will have against us tomorrow is that they are playing at home... It won't be enough..

This team beat a tough Senegal team in front of 15,000 intimidating fans to win the trophy in 2019..
Cameroon won't know what hit them!

..it can go both ways, both team are good, and got size, it would be down to who can execute.....They also will be having sleepless night. Nigeria has beaten them in the last 3 meetings, twice in Mali,2017 afrobasket (group stage and finals) and at home,despite the 15 thousand or more fans (Senegal 2019). It is the finals before finals. Seems they shoot a little better out of the field,However, their free throws percentage seems not to be too good.from what i see, they are not as quick as our players, hence, we need to put key players of the sengalese in foul problem very early. Players like Y.Diop, May the best team win....which i feel is our ladies, except they prove us otherwise tomorrow.

I love ur analysis, same Mozambique we beat by 17 points in the first game, Senegal blew them up by 28 points 74-46. I dunno,buh I think the Senegalese would want to revenge their loss at the last finals by putting up a hard fight, I hope D'tigress are ready for what they come up with.

...yeah, not a determinant though, mozambique was our first game, the coaches had not done any scouting report on them....thats why they used the first half to figure them out. Coach hughley touched on this also, the girls had not played together in a while, they just converged a few days to the start of the tournament. Senegal want blood, thats okay, may the best team win.

I just finished watching the highlights of the Senegal v Mozambique game.

Man, D’Tigress will effectively be the away team cos the Senegalese fans made lots of noise! I’m fact, it will be as though the game were taking place in Senegal.

Also, due to the height of the Senegalese players, we will need the likes of Promise and E. Kalu to really make those mesmerizing drives to the paint. A quick-passing game is what is needed!

Um, are you guys sure Senegal won't whoop Nigeria's ass today?? grin cause apart from Ezinne Kalu who is the queen of this team, Victoria Macaulay, Amy Okonkwo,
was surprised by her last performance, she really impressed, especially with her 3 point shooting, it has to be said, because her performance in the previous two games were below average to be honest, and maybe Oderah Chidom don't know why she didn't play the last game.. the rest are fairly average players in my opinion!!

It's not by noise abeg, we defeated them in front of their home crowd with all the noise in 2019.
