00:00Nigeria versus Team USA at 3.30, the Team USA squad a minus 28.5 point favorite, a total
00:09of 155.5.
00:11What can we look forward to today, Jacob, in your eyes between Nigeria and Team USA?
00:16I think this is a great opportunity for the USA to just kind of put another beat down
00:20on Nigeria.
00:21They faced off in February and it wasn't a contest.
00:25I mean, the United States won 100 to 46.
00:28So I don't know that we're going to see that level of play this time around, but it just
00:33goes to show you how far the women's team is ahead of other countries across the world.
00:38And credit to Nigeria, I believe they're the first African team to make it to the quarterfinals
00:43in basketball at the Olympics.
00:45So they've done a good job, but they're relying a lot on Azeen Kalou to lead them in scoring.
00:52And she's only five foot eight, and we know the United States team has size.
00:56So if they can just prevent her from getting hot and just kind of make life difficult for
01:01her, Nigeria is going to have a really tough time slowing down Team USA on the other side
01:07and scoring on them.
01:08So I think this could turn into a big time blowout, especially since the United States
01:13is starting to get some three point contributions from Jackie Young and Kalaya Copper.
