[DAY 3] Group B: Lithuania vs. Nigeria

[turk-jugoslav]

Lithuania is heavy favourite but I have a feeling that won't be easy match for Lithuania

[Mindozas]

Lithuania is the favorite but they have locked the 1st place and maybe they will take this one easy.

No and no If Nigeria will win by 10 - they will be 1st and it's very important thing for upcoming stages of competition, so there's no way we'll take this game easy. I expect fully focused Lithuania. Nigeria is different team than Venesuela was - more physicall, tougher defensivelly, so it'll be interesting to see how the team will cope with that. Hopefully everythig will be fine

Nigeria can defend better than Venezuela did yesterday. But this should not be enough...

Champerlain Oguchi spend 5 hours in a hospital. Don't know if he is sick or injured.
He just wrote about this on his twitter account.

I have Lithuania pulling away in the mid/late 3rd period for a comfortable win. Having said that, Nigeria's spirited performance against Venezuela should give Lithuania something to think about. If Nigeria can somehow disrupt Lithuania's set offense and turn the game into open court battle, the Lithuanians could be tested.

[Dtown]

Lithuania's pretty much locked into first no matter what barring shocking big loss, so they can afford to take it easy.

[christodoulou76]

Lithuania plays hard for only one half, resting some of its key players in the 2nd half on its way to an easy 15-point victory.

Will Lithuania finish perfect or will Nigeria upset a European basketball power?
