Nigeria’s representatives at the ongoing Basketball Africa League (BAL) in Senegal, Kwara Falcons, suffered another defeat in their second group match yesterday after they were beaten 74-78 by fellow debutants, Stade Malien of Mali.
It will be recalled that Kwara Falcons tasted their first defeat when they lost their opening group match 64-48 to Rwanda Energy Group (REG) and the loss remains the biggest margin of defeat so far by any team in the Sahara Conference.
In yesterday’s match, expectations were high that Kwara Falcons would bounce back from their opening day loss but they lost the first three quarters in a row 15-18, 16-18, and 18-28 respectively.
However, they managed to salvage the last quarter which they won 25-14 for a total of 74-78 points which wasn’t enough to earn them victory.
