In the opening game of Olympic men's basketball competition, Nigeria edged African rival Tunisia 60-56 on Sunday. Both
African teams were making their debuts in Olympic men's basketball. It looked
like Nigeria, faster, stronger and quicker to the ball, was headed for an easy
victory over Tunisia.
Meanwhile in
preliminary round action Tuesday, Nigeria will play Lithuania and Tunisia will
take on the gold-medal favorite United States.
According to Voice of America, a crowd of almost 7,000 attended the Nigeria-Tunisia game at the Olympic Park Basketball Arena, one of the largest temporary venues ever built for an Olympics. The 12-team Olympic men's basketball tournament will culminate August 12th with the gold medal game.
