The Africa powerhouses Angola, Nigeria, Senegal and Tunisia being challenged time and time again in the race for next year's FIBA Basketball World Cup, South Sudan continue to pass every test with high grades.
The South Sudanese have overcome arduous tests to be in the position they are now, and beating the reigning African champions twice in the current African Qualifiers campaign to stay perfect tells the story of a team debuting in the tournament.
For some, the hottest team in the African Qualifiers, South Sudan show no signs of slowing down. To be 6-0 in the build-up to the Second Round is an achievement like no other.
