Teams Preview

The Lions produced a complete team performance with balanced scoring, dominant rim protection and aggressive perimeter defense that forced numerous turnovers throughout the game.Badio B. scored 23 points and Sane B. scored 16 points. 

Senegal are currently averaging 86.8 points per game, shooting 49.4% from the field and 32.3% from the arc. Furthermore, they maintain a strong presence on the boards, grabbing 40.5 rebounds per game.

Senegal's strategy will revolve around attacking in transition, dominating the rebounding battle and using their length to disrupt Madagascar's offense. Expect them to apply defensive pressure from the opening tip while pushing the pace whenever opportunities arise. 

Their ability to protect the rim and create second-chance points remains one of their biggest strengths. Additionally, by maintaining efficient floor spacing and capitalizing on turnovers, they consistently maximize their scoring opportunities. 

This high-energy approach forces opponents into uncomfortable sets, allowing Senegal to control the tempo from start to finish.

Senegal on average score 84.8 points per game they score 55% from the field and 23.8% from the arc. Senegal grab 51.3 rebounds per game 

Madagascar Preview

Madagascar suffered an 82-62 defeat against DR Congo in their previous qualifier, falling behind early after managing only 15 first-half points. M‘Madi M. scored 15 points and Raharimanantoanina S. scored 11 points.

Their offense struggled against Congo's defensive pressure, and they now enter this game still searching for their first victory of the qualifiers. To improve their competitive standing, the team must address their rebounding consistency and reduce unforced turnovers. A more disciplined defensive transition will also be crucial to preventing opponents from capitalizing on their offensive lulls.

Madagascar will aim to slow the pace and maximize every offensive possession while relying on disciplined half-court execution. They'll look to create open perimeter shots and improve their defensive rebounding to limit Senegal's transition opportunities. 

However, containing Senegal's athleticism and physicality over four quarters remains their biggest challenge. Effectively managing the shot clock will be vital to keeping the game close throughout. Additionally, maintaining consistent focus on defensive assignments during the closing minutes will be necessary to stay competitive.

Madagascar on average score 70.3 points per game they score 39.9% from the field and 30.2% from the arc. Madagascar grab 39.8 rebounds per game .
