AS Monaco\u2019s all-arounder helped Guinea to begin AfroBasket 2025 the right way<\/p>\n

By Eurohoops team \/\u00a0info@eurohoops.net<\/a><\/p>\n

Previously in the 2024-25 season, he contributed to Monaco\u2019s outstanding run in the EuroLeague, reaching not only the Final Four but also the Championship Game against Fenerbahce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, Alpha Diallo decided not to rest in the summer either, as he\u2019s currently in Angola to help Guinea at FIBA AfroBasket 2025. He began the tournament excellently.<\/p>\n

Against the way more favourite South Sudan, Alpha Diallo shone with 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, pushing his team to the 88-80 win against the Olympians. Wenyen Gabriel had 6 points.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Moreover, the opening day of Africa\u2019s most prestigious national team competition also featured the crushing 88-53 win by Senegal against Uganda.<\/p>\n

Former Baskonia<\/a>\u2018s Ousmane Ndiaye (12 points and 7 rebounds), Valencia<\/a>\u2018s Brancou Badio (8 points), and former Virtus Bologna\u2019s Gora Camara (14 points and 13 rebounds) stepped up.<\/p>\n

Finally, the hosts Angola and Egypt started the tournament well too, beating respectively Libya (85-53) and Mali (74-59).<\/p>\n
