The loss to the Central African country means D'Tigers have lost the ground of a podium finish in the 2023 FIBA AfroCan as they failed to qualify for the semifinals.

DTigers in the Match against Congo Democratic Republic lost the opening quarter 19-31, but won the last three quarters with small margins which cost them dearly in the game.

Kanyisola Joseph led Nigeria in scoring with 23 points while Chinedu Martins pulled a leading 9pt rebound for Tigers.

D'Tigers had on Wednesday redeemed themselves as they overpowered their Gabonese counterparts with a comfortable 71-55 to return the winning ways after defeat to Angola on Monday.
