Assistant Coach of D’Tigers, Abdulrahman Mohammed is optimistic his team can still win a medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia.

Speaking after their second loss on Saturday, Abdulrahman said despite his team still in search of a winning formula, they are not completely out of the race for a medal.

“We are still trying to get the winning formula to really get us there. We are just temporarily down, but we are not out of the competition.”

“We are still hoping that we can be on the podium regardless of the medal we can get. It is not over unless we are out of the tournament. We are not going to lose hope, we are going to keep playing and hoping that we can be able to get to the podium,” the Gombe Bulls head coach said.

Explaining how they intend to win the medal despite losing their second group game, he said the possibility of getting to the semi-finals is as bright as that of any other teams competing in the games.

“We have 2 life lines. If we don’t get to make it as the first 2 teams in the group, we will still get to play against the best 2 teams in group A for a slot in the semi-finals. So, it’s never over until it’s all over.

Although still hurting from their surprise 67- 82 points loss on Saturday to a young Canadian side, he said the loss against the North Americans was more painful because of his team’s level of confidence heading into the encounter.

“Nobody likes to lose, it’s even worse for us because we were confident and so sure of beating Canada. We don’t feel good about the loss, it hurts.”

They will continue their quest to record their first win at the Commonwealth Games when they meet Australia on Monday.
