” It’s a good win for us today and we can only control how we want to perform and for us as a team, we want to be the standard and this is our mindset as a group,” Wakama said after the game.
” The 2023 team that won the Afrobasket is different from this team and for this team, this is our first game together ever and I understand that as a coach. I am still trying to figure out rotations and the players too are trying to know each other better on the court”.
” I must give credit to my girls because they all understand the reason why we are here and we want to remain professional and focused by taking each game at a time.”
