D'Tigers are contenders to win the competition, following their amazing run in the qualifiers. The Nigerian team became the first team to qualify for the Afrobasket without losing a game. Nigeria topped group B with maximum points.
Coach Brown will hope that his team gets a better outing in Rwanda than what happened at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Nigeria lost all their group games at the Olympics despite having won against Argentina and the USA in the friendly games leading to Tokyo.
Nigeria is in Group C alongside Ivory Coast, Mali, and Kenya
