Former Nigeria national women’s basketball player Mfon Udoka has played down D’Tigress chances at the Paris Olympics.

D’Tigress will be making their third appearance at the Olympics after debuting at Athens 2004 and also qualifying for Tokyo 2020.

They will open their campaign against Australia on Sunday, July 29, face France on Thursday, August 1 before ending the group phase with a clash against Canada on Sunday, August 4.
Udoka, a member of the side that featured at the Athens Olympics said it will be a difficult outing for the African champions.

“I did see the final roster and my initial thought was the lack of experience,” she said on Brila FM. “Even though they’ve been playing it’s important to have experience especially when you get to an international tournament like the Olympics, that might be an issue.

In their two previous outings at the Olympics, D’Tigress failed to go beyond the group stage.
They lost to Germany and Serbia in their two friendly games ahead of the Paris Olympics.
