In the preliminary round there were two groups (group A and group B) of five teams each. Each team played against each other of the respective group exactly once, so that each team played four games (a total of 20 games were played). There were two points for each win and one point for a defeat. The two teams with the highest points in each group advanced to the semi-finals. In the event of a tie, the direct comparison decided . Since the top three in Group B were tied and Senegal won against Mali, Mali against Nigeria and Nigeria against Senegal, the relative basket ratio of these three games decided. Since Senegal with +20 and Nigeria with +2 had the better basket ratio than Mali (−22), they moved into the semi-finals, Senegal as group first and Nigeria as group second. The third placed players played for fifth place, the fourth placed for seventh place and the last placed in each group for ninth place.
