D'Tigress beat Australia 75-62, Bag Nigeria's first Olympic win since 2000
In the biggest basketball upset so far of the Paris 2024 Olympics, Nigeria's D'Tigress stun Australia 75-62 in the opener for their first win since 2000.
D'tigress beat Australia
Nigeria defeated the Opals of Australia 75-62 in their opening game, pulling off a historic upset.
The African team put on a great display, taking advantage of Australian mistakes to win in front of yet another sizable audience in Lille.
Other than the heroics of the entire Nigerian team, this will go down in history.
Ezinne Kalu was on fire, finishing with 19 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals in her first international game since Tokyo 2020.
D'Tigress lose to France
D'Tigress suffered a 75-54 loss to France in their second game at the 2024 Women's Olympic Basketball Tournament in Paris.
Nigeria had virtually kept up with their opponents for the majority of the first half because to their characteristic bravery and aggressive play.
But when France shut down D'Tigress' offensive entirely and limited them to single digits at just 8 points in the third quarter, the wheels came off for the team.
In this game, France's depth was crucial—at least when compared to Nigeria, anyway.
With the hosts scoring 37 points and their opponents scoring just 9, there was a significant disparity in bench scoring.
Nigeria had a great start and had to work hard to contain the damage as fatigue set in.
D'Tigress vs Canada
When D'Tigress plays Canada in the last Group match, they have everything to play for.
In the other group match, Australia responded to their opening-round defeat at the 2024 Women's Olympic Basketball Tournament by defeating Canada 70-65 to secure their first win.
This means France has qualified with two wins while Nigeria and Australia battle for second place.
Canada on the other hand lost their two games to France and Australia respectively.
