Nigeria’s female basketball team D’Tigress has crashed out of the ongoing Olympics tournament in Paris following their 74 – 88 loss in the quarterfinals to USA.
As they swapped baskets in the first few minutes, Nigeria who have made physical play their trademark looked anything but scared by the formidable Americans.
A’Ja Wilson, the two-time WNBA Most Valuable Player, led a US squad that has the potential to overtake the US men’s basketball team for the record for the most straight Olympic gold medals, which they shared from 1936 to 1968, with 20 points and 11 rebounds.
