Former Bruin joins Nigerian National Team

Belmont grad Amanze Egekeze was recently added to the Nigerian national team roster, according to a Belmont press release.

Egekeze, who has Nigerian parents, made an instant impact this past weekend as Nigeria took part in FIBA Afrobasket 2021 Qualifiers. The former first team All-OVC selection averaged 7.7 points and a team-high 7.3 rebounds per game as Nigeria defeated South Sudan, Rwanda and Mali by an average of 21 points per game.
