today final when they decision their semi-finals opponents with Senegal

championship which tip-off on September 23, with Senegal leading other
teams in the group- which include Nigeria to the knock-stage without
dropping a game while Angola lost just one game to Senegal (42-63)
making it the fourth time both side will be clashing in one month with
Senegal having the upper hand having two out of their three previous

Aya Traore Vs Nacissela Mauricio: both share the
captain band with Traore leading in this pairing as the reigning Most

push over when it come to propelling her teammates which she has done
excellent especially at the knock-out stage.
While Traore has been a little passive in the championship except some
occasional flashes Nacissela has been a dependable leader for her Angola
teammates in all the games they have played so far.
Both players were at the opposite side during the gold medal game of the
10th All Africa Games in Maputo, Mozambique with Senegal running away
with a 67-54 points victory which makes todays grand finale to be
interesting as Mauricio would not to be a prey to the Senegalese in
another final especially with London 2012 Olympic Games ticket in sight.

player and leader, Aya bring to the court experience and exposure having
played in some of the best league around the globe though she might not
be as explosive as she was in the 2007 and 2009 editions of the
Afrobasket for women but that does not remove the fact she is one of
present-day living legend of Africa women basketball.
Always on the quiet side but very deadly when in her element a situation

Mali 2011 Afrobasket for Women: Battle shift to
Quarter-finals - Sep 30, 2011
The
battle for Africa direct sole London 2011 Olympic Games ticket has now
shifted to the quarter-finals of the 22nd Afrobasket for Women as the
women have been separated from the girls as eight teams who made it to
the knock-out strategise for action.
The lucky eight teams that made it from the group stage of the
championship include host and 2007 champion Mali who lead three other
teams from group-A, the other teams are Mozambique, Cote dIvoire and
Democratic Republic of Congo and from group-B are defending champion and
Africa most crowned women national team, Senegal, Angola, two-time
champion Nigeria and Cameroon.
All four quarter-finals games will be decided at the newly constructed
Stade du 26 Mars gymnasium, Bamako, Mali with Nigeria and Mozambique
engaging each other at 14H00; Democratic Republic of Congo will test the
might of reigning champion Senegal at 16H00; Cameroon battle host Mali
at 18H00 with Cote dIvoire taking on Angola at 20H00.
Nigeria Vs Mozambique the first quarter-final between Nigeria and
Mozambique will be a repeat of the third place game between both sides
at the 10th Africa Games in Maputo with Nigeria running away with the
bronze medal leaving the Mozambican who were host to finish the Games
with nothing.
The Mali 2011 is a different setting as they eye a place at the 2012
Olympic Games; Nigeria will rely heavily on her defensive style of play
but must watch it against a mobile Mozambican who seems to be one of the
best perimeter team at the Mali 2011 Afrobasket.
RD Congo Vs Senegal Pundits may have given the game to Senegal judging
by her pedigree but basketball gets more tougher as the championship
gets tougher and one thing the Senegalese side must guide against is
over confidence which spelt doom for their men side at the Afrobasket
for Men in Antananarivo, Madagascar just last month.
Though the Lioness no doubt are on top of their game but against a
die-hard Congolese side a big bargain is surely on offer as the
Democratic Republic of Congo side may not boost of solid line-up as the
Senegalese but they cannot be written off with the wave of the hand.
Cameroon Vs Mali Cameroon who has not disappointed in the championship
so far despite finishing fourth from group-B they will surely have the
Malian who have the backing of their vociferous fans to see them through
the den of the Lioness from Cameroon.
Cameroon who was eliminated at this stage of the championship two years
ago in Madagascar would attempt to make history and look upto history
that a host can be defeated right in front of its fans just as Mali did
to Senegal in the grand finale of the 2007 edition when they won the
trophy for the first time.
Cote dIvoire Vs Angola Cote dIvoire could be describe as a team with
nine-live, when many thought their participation in the 2nd Afrobasket
have come to an end owing to their not impressive performance in their
earlier games in group-A the strong FIBA Africa Zone-3 side prove book
makers wrong by sneaking into the last eight as they regain composure in
her last two preliminary games against Ghana and Tunisia as they try
Angola for size in the last quarter final on Friday.
The unpredicted pairing could go either way as both sides parade
youthful and determine players as the race for the title gets keener.
