The US Women’s Basketball team is semifinal bound.
After netting a 59th consecutive win with a commanding 88-74 victory over Nigeria, Team USA advanced to the semis, so they’ll be playing for a medal on Sunday. If they win, the medal will be guaranteed, but if they lose, they’ll have to net one more win to go home with the bronze medal.
This year’s team is captained by five-time Olympic gold medalist Diana Taurasi, who is playing in her sixth Olympics and was moved off the starting lineup in the win against Nigeria. The team, made up of all WNBA players, also features two New York Liberty stars, Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, and two difference makers from the Las Vegas Aces, Jackie Young and Kelsey Plum.
Team USA’s opponent in the quarterfinals is Australia, who punched their ticket to the semis in a 85-67 win against Serbia.
