Ruthless Senegal crushes Uganda 88–53 in Afrobasket showdown

The undermanned Silverbacks looked every bit ill-equipped against the relentless Senegalese, who led from start to finish and were never really tested by their Group D rivals. The undermanned Silverbacks looked every bit ill-equipped against the relentless Senegalese, who led from start to finish and were never really tested by their Group D rivals. Jean-Jacques Boissy (183-PG-2000) and Makhtar Gueye (208-PF-1997, college: CBU) had 16 points apiece and Gora Camara (214-C-2001) added 14 and 13 rebounds for Senegal, who outscored Uganda 44-23 in the second half. Geng Deu had a game-high 17 points for Uganda, while debutant Jacksen Moni (208-F-2003, college: NDSU) added 10 points before exiting the game in the fourth quarter with what seemed like a serious lower leg injury. If he is not able to return for the rest of the tournament, Uganda will have nine players to call upon, making an already complicated situation worse. Uganda face Mali on Thursday.
