Basketball Promoter, and the founder of the Mark D' Ball Basketball Championship, Igoche Mark, beamed with pride as he watched the Nigerian women's basketball team, D'Tigress, take on the formidable Les Bleues, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

Despite the 75-54 loss, Mr. Mark was impressed by the team's display of courage, tenacity, and dexterity.

"I must commend the D'Tigress for their impressive performance against one of the world's best women's basketball teams," Mr. Mark said in a post-game interview. "Their determination and skill on the court were evident, and I'm proud of the way they represented Nigeria."

In the game, D’Tigress showed several standout moments with their aggressive defence, which resulted in 13 steals, showcasing their quick hands and alertness on the court as a team. The ladies also demonstrated their depth with contributions from all the players, particularly in rebounding, where they grabbed 32 boards, including 7 on the offensive end.

As the D'Tigress prepare to face Canada in their next match on Sunday, Mr. Mark urged them to take his advice to heart. "With some fine-tuning on defence, I believe this team has the potential to go far in the competition. They've already shown they can compete with the best; now it's time to take it to the next level."Mark stated.
