Teams Preview
Senegal Preview
Senegal made a losing start in Puerto Rico for the 2026 FIBA World Cup qualifiers. USA defeated the African giants 110-46. It was Senegal’s biggest blowout defeat in FIBA World Cup qualifying history. Senegal’s highest scoring quarter was 17 points and they looked clueless against the WNBA stars. Senegal will now take on Spain in the second encounter of the qualifiers. They entered the competition as Africa’s third best side after an impressive run in the 2025 AfroBasket.
Senegal were ranked second in the scoring average with 73.5 points. Their defense was also good as they allowed 59.8 points per game during the AfroBasket. Senegal were shooting 26% from the floor and 15% from the three-point line against USA. During the AfroBasket, they ranked third in the offensive rebounds (16.2) and first in steals per game (15.5). They conceded a biggest lead of 66 points against the USA.
Only two players reached double figure for Senegal. Nene Ndiaye was the top scorer with 12 points and six rebounds. Khadija Faye also added 12 points. Both players came from the bench. Cierra Dillard wasn’t included in the lineup. Yacine Diop could be an offensive threat. The 30-year-old forward averaged 9.0 points in the 2025 AfroBasket. We back her to score 15 or more points in the upcoming fixture. Senegal would surely make a change in the starting lineup for the next game.

Spain looked dominant in both departments. The Kiwis couldn’t cross 14 points in any quarter. Spain had the biggest lead of 50 points. Spain were the runner-ups in the 2025 EuroBasket. They lost to Belgium in the final. Spain would eye back-to-back wins.
