Paris Olympics: D’Tigress bow out after quarter-final loss to USA

Nigeria’s female basketball team D’Tigress has been kicked out of the ongoing Olympics tournament in Paris following their 74 – 88 loss in the quarterfinals to USA.

The Nigeria team had a spectacular game in the 4th quarter, outscoring the US by (26-12) however it wasn’t enough to upset the deficit in the last three quarters.

D’Tigress will exit the tournament as the first African team to ever reach the Olympics quarterfinals.

This comes hours after Nigeria’s Assistant Coach Aisha Mohammed bragged about D’Tigress sending USA home in an interview with newsmen.
