Lone Star suffered another loss

Olumide Oyedeji

The Lone Star suffered the fourth loss in the fourth game in Algeria against continental basketball powerhouse Nigeria.
After a day of rest, the Liberian national team had to take on Nigeria led by captain Olumide Oyedeji (208-C/F-81) , a former NBA player.
Although Nigeria fielded a B-Team for the All-Africa Games ,it was fairly good enough to beat the inexperienced players of Liberia 79-57 in yesterday's game.
"We always having a good first and a good second quarter , but due to the lack of experience and preperation, we lost the games in the last quarters when players are fatigue and dont know how to adjust their shooting mechanics against bigger and more experienced opponents ", tells head coach Allen Jallah from Algeria.He is hoping that the Liberian Basketball Federation and the Ministry of Youth and Sports is supporting the national team for the African Championships in Angola by bringing in more foreign-based players to strenghten the team.Meanwhile, the winless squad of the Dem.Rep. of Congo is today's rival for the fifth place , we hope the Liberians are able to finish the trip with a win in the last game.
