Ere and Ibekwe make the Nigerian Olympic team
Ere had 14p on 6/9 in 29mins in the loss to Argentina, Ibekwe had 4p on 2/4, 3r, 2a and 2b in 15mins.

Finally in good shape huh? Maybe he respects the Nigerian coach as a coach and not a buddy. Smh still at that signing. USA taking care of business now as per usual. They won't be beaten and I actually like the attitudes etc of this team, engaging good for the game and kids looking up to them.

Only until their bench came in, it turns out, they're now down 13 early in the second!

Funnily enough, Ebi is looking pretty damn git, much different to the guy who wandered into Adelaide last year. I guess the spur of the Olympics will do that to you.
He and Ibekwe both started, it's 11-10 to the USA after five. Will be interesting to see how long they can hang for, losing Al Farouq Amino hurts them a bit.

I was originally being very sarcastic with the word thin... But yes Paul, you get it hah


They won't be thin anymore.

Guess they are a bit thin on roster depth of Ebi is in...

Playing against the USA at 10am this morning on ESPN 2.

NZ finished pool play strongly with a solid win over France 82-70 pushing them into 3rd spot in group D.
Kirk Penney once again top scored for the Kiwi's with 25 points and Mika Vukona chimed in with a solid 6 rebounds and 15 points including 2 from 2 beyond the arc.
The Tall Blacks lead for most of the match but France were always within striking distance until the last couple of minutes of the fourth quarter.
Bokolo top scored for France with 13 points.
Highlight play for me was when Tom Abercrombie got up and blocked Borris Diaw in the paint.
Lets hope the Tall Blacks can carry the momentum of 3 wins in a row into the next round and send someone home.
