Today we played our last match of the first group phase. We lost to Tunisia by one point. Even though we lost, I think we played better, and you can see it in the boxscore ratings. We were unlucky and also the fact that our top centre was injured added to it. However, like I said last week, the loss doesn't make any difference at all, it won't carry forward and we will start the second group phase with 4 wins and 1 loss. Overall, I think we did a very good job in this first group phase. We beat 5 teams (including current champions Nigeria) and only lost to the hosts Egypt and to Tunisia in a match of no importance. We are looking forward to the second group phase where the only teams we won't face again are Tunisia and Morocco.

So today was our first match of the 2nd group phase. We played against the bottom team in the table - South Africa. Both teams were level pegging in the first quarter. But we showed what we were capable of in the 2nd quarter and again in the 3rd quarter when we extended our lead to almost 40 points. Our backups played during the whole 4th quarter and they didn't let our opponents catch up. In the end the final score was 114-77 and we are now looking forward to our next match against Algeria, currently 4th in the table.

Today we played against Algeria. It was a very tough match. We were trailing in the first 3 quarters. Fortunately we managed to take the 4th quarter 42-22 (20-point difference) and we won the match. Our long range shooting wasn't as good as I wanted it to be - we only scored 9 three-pointers. We managed to successfully stop Algeria's top players Staiti and Zemmal, and our zone defense also helped. So we continue to stay 2nd in the table and next week we'll face Nigeria. Looking forward to it.

So yesterday we faced our semifinal opponents - Nigeria. The match was of no importance at all. We are already guaranteed a semifinal spot, against Nigeria (after Algeria lost). The game started well for us, we won the 1st quarter. We lost the next 3 quarters, though, by a little. We had a couple of players who got into foul troubles so they couldn't stay on the field for most of the match. Anyway, we lost by 11 points, but like I said, it really doesn't matter. We will most likely finish 2nd, and will face Nigeria again in the semifinals.

Yesterday we faced Senegal. We are already guaranteed 2nd place in the overall standings and a match-up against Nigeria in the semis but we had to win that game to improve our ranking. And we did. We won each quarter except the last one, where the coach decided to let the backups play. We did an excellent rebounding performance - 64 against 27. Another thing that I should mention is the lack of fouls. 18 fouls in total is pretty good. Anyway, we controlled the match from the very beginning and eventually won it by 25 points. We'll finish 2nd in the overall standings which is great. Our next opponent is Egypt, hosts of the African Championship and it will be very difficult but we'll try to make the most of it.

Last night we played our final group match. We were already guaranteed 2nd place. Our opponents were Egypt, host nation of the African Championship. Of course, I knew they were strong favourites to win, just like they won every single match. And they did win it. The first half of the match was disastrous for us. We trailed 35 points at half time. There was no way we could catch up in the 2nd half, even though we tried. Anyway, we did finish 2nd which is equal best along with the previous championship where we also finished 2nd. We are now looking forward to our semifinal game against Nigeria on Friday. We beat them in the first group phase, they beat us in the second group phase, so it will be very interesting.

I'm very proud to announce that Ghana have qualified for the World Championships for the first time ever! We beat Nigeria today in the African Championship semifinal, and it was a breathtaking final. We were 3 points ahead but Nigeria scored a three-pointer a few seconds before the end. Then, at the very last second, Diawara threw down a powerful two-handed dunk and we won. A buzzerbeater for our team! And the final score is 94-92. We are now taking on the hosts, Egypt, in the continental final, and they are the hot favourites to win that match, but we will try to make the most of the game. See you all on Monday and once again congrats on our first World Championship appearance!
