Nigeria opened the tournament with a historic maiden win over China, 93-88, led by standout guard Nora Ezike, but suffered heavy defeats to Canada and Hungary, ending hopes of a quarterfinal berth. Now ranked 14th in the latest power rankings, they aim to end their campaign on a high while gaining valuable experience on the world stage.
