They were grouped in two and after the preliminaries and the quarterfinals, hosts Mali were eliminated 56-51 in the semis by top favourites Angola, while Senegal crushed Nigeria 89-63. Like was widely expected, Angola won the title after beating Senegal 62-54 in the final, thereby booking their place for the 2012 Olympics – the first time the Angolan women will be playing basketball at the Olympics. Angola’s 31-year-old power forward Nassecela Mauricio, was named MVP of the 2011 Afrobasket following an outstanding performance of 12 points, five rebounds and three assists in the title game.
