Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 4005032, member: 15"] Thanks. I meant playing for Nigeria as a way to develop basketball arose recently. No Ogwumike has played for Nigeria in any of the qualifying tournaments. I know that was not an option for Nneka who believed she would make the US team but maybe it was for Chiney. I honestly don’t know what’s better for Nigerian basketball; is it giving the players who helped Nigeria qualify the Olympic experience or is it bringing in US players who are better and want an Olympic experience they couldn’t get with the US? Ultimately that is for the Nigerian Federation to decide and seems they believe it is better to bring in the US players and hope to improve the results. You make good arguments and I expect the FIBA Sec General will grant the exception. [/QUOTE]
