So Angola, Nigeria and Senegal are the likely favourites? By the way Egypt have European champions title back in 1949 because they had no real opponents in Africa and were allowed to play in Eurobasket.

Why's that? It's the same naming system used for Eurobasket or Asiabasket for instance.

The ideal 5 of the tournament is composed by Olímpio Cipriano, Joaquim Gomes (Angola), Marques Houtman, Rodrigo Mascarenhas (Cape Verde) and Luc Mbah (Cameroon).

Congrats to Angola {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif They indeed rule African basketball.
