00:00start first on the women's side the united states makes it 59 consecutive victories at
00:10the olympic games with an 88 74 victory in quarterfinal action over nigeria 26 and a
00:17half points spread though carlin in favor of the americans the nigerians a historic
00:22tournament the first ever african nation either men's or women's to get to the quarterfinal
00:27round of the basketball tournament at the olympic games so they do cover that spread
00:31albeit in a losing effort what did you make of the united states performance yesterday
00:36to pick up a quarterfinal victory honestly through the first three minutes of the game
00:41when the score was tied at 4-4 i was wondering if the u.s were going to continue that win
00:44streak honestly guys like it was it was a little shaky there first three minutes of
00:47the game and then uh nafisa collier scored a two-point basket and the rest was history
00:52so honestly all this is your credits in nigeria as you said first african nation to make it
00:57to the quarterfinals men's or women's they played terrific basketball throughout the
01:01olympic games and then had the measurements to gain for them and they now know where to
01:05go next right like they know what the next level is for them if they plan on standing
01:10on the podium but this is business as usual for team usa they're gonna have 60 game win
01:14streak uh you know in the semi-finals there they should have 61 wins by the time we're
01:18uh over with the olympic games and honestly i hope that america really appreciates what
01:22they're doing because this is not easy it's not only that the win streak is being put
01:26together it's that there are different teams being put together each olympic games each
01:30olympic cycles and then they're winning these games in dominant fashion like they're not
01:34close like they're blowing these teams out yes they've been covered the 26 point game
01:38spread yesterday but are we gonna kill them for that no it's okay they won by 14 pretty
01:43comfortably so they are one of the most dominant teams and one of the most dominant programs
01:47in olympic history and when they do eventually lose a game if it happens in our lifetime
01:51it's gonna be like tyson douglas like upset level right like it's going to be one of the
01:56biggest upsets we've ever seen in sports and that's pretty incredible to say
