South Sudan beat African champions Tunisia for second straight time to stay perfect.

KIGALI (Rwanda) - Five months ago, South Sudan shocked Tunisia 72-64. On Saturday they did it again, outclassing the reigning African champions with an even bigger winning margin to stay perfect in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 African Qualifiers.

Aggressive defensively and efficient on the offensive end of the floor, South Sudan were on a desperation mode to extend their winning streak and boost their World Cup aspirations alive, and they did just that.

Mareng Gatkuoth had a 4-for-4 shooting from beyond the arc to finish with 12 points off the bench; Nuni Omot was superb on both ends of the floor, finishing with 16 points; Kuany Ngor Kuany added 12, and Sunday Dech hit two critical three-pointers that made Tunisia look helpless.

Top Scorers: Omot 16, Dech 15, Gatkuoth 12, Kuany 12
