Nigeria's D'Tigers have suffered their second consecutive defeat, falling 68-55 to Guinea in the 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifiers. According to TheCable, the team trailed from the first quarter in a one-sided encounter in Tunisia, unable to recover against a dominant Guinean side that controlled the game throughout.

Key Points:
  • D'Tigers lost 68-55 to Guinea in the second FIBA World Cup qualifier
  • Team trailed 22-16 in the first quarter, 35-26 at halftime
  • Marked Nigeria's second straight defeat after Thursday's loss to Tunisia
  • Guinea maintained control through all four quarters
  • Final group game against Rwanda scheduled for Sunday
  • The top three teams from the group will advance to the final qualification round
  • Five African teams will ultimately qualify for the 2027 World Cup in Qatar
When early momentum falters and deficits compound, the true test becomes not just recovering a game but rebuilding the confidence that fuels competitive fire against gathering storms.
