It seems list changed slightly according to
http://www.africabasket.com/Senegal/...?NewsID=238125

The Lions of Senegal won't be able to count on the services of Antoine Mendy (198-F-83) as their basketball federation didn't manage to organize a insurance for the player.

Article says only 11 players flew to Madagascar. It is not clear if they can add 12th player so late.

Other thing is
Instead of Ousmane Gueye now Malick Badiane is listed in roster (not Pape Badiane that played for France and basketball citizenship was problematic)

This seems to be final 11-men Senegalese roster
Thierno Niang
Mamadou Ndoye
Xane D'Almeida
Mouhammad Faye
Elhadji Ndiaye
Maleye NDoye
Pape Thiendou Diasse
Papa Ndiaga Dia
Malick Badiane
Babacar Toure
Boubacar Coly
