Diogu Chasing Dreams Towards Rio Olympics

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Sun Devil great Ike Diogu views the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro as unfinished business. The approach works on personal and team levels.

Diogu's Nigerian men's basketball team would like to do more than simply qualify for the Olympics, as it did for the first time at the 2012 London Games when it finished 10th, and as it did this time around when it defeated Angola, 74–65, to win the African Basketball Nations Cup for the first time.

"I really think we could be a top-five team in the world," Diogu said.
