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.

Joaquim Gomes named the MVP of the tournament.
The ideal 5 of the tournament is composed by OlÃÂmpio Cipriano, Joaquim Gomes (Angola), Marques Houtman, Rodrigo Mascarenhas (Cape Verde) and Luc Mbah (Cameroon).
Congrats to Angola <!-- s
