D’ Tigress lost 62-87 to their French counterparts in the Second Preliminary Round Group B Fixture at the Ongoing Tokyo Olympic Games.

Poor defensive play reduced their chance of qualifying to the next round of the competition which if they want to progress they better improve.

Nigeria raced to a 20-17 first quarter against the team and if they kept that energy steady, France would get two losses in a row.

D’ Tigress managed to fight back in the fourth quarter with a 20-20 but France played conservatively because they know they had a huge gap.

For D’ Tigress to emerge as one of the best losers, they have to beat host Japan in their last game.

France dominated the D’ Tigress and was faster, more physical, and shot well from the three-point line during the first quarter.
