The U.S. women's basketball team is very familiar with its first Olympic opponent.
Team USA will face Nigeria in its group-play opener after winning an exhibition matchup last week in Las Vegas. Team USA crushed Nigeria 93-62 in that contest with a balanced scoring attack. Five different players hit double-figures in the victory, including 2020 WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson (16 points, 10 rebounds).
Will the Americans reign supreme once again? Or can Nigeria pull off the upset?
Here is a complete guide to watching the USA vs. Nigeria women's basketball game at the 2021 Olympics, including the start time, a full TV schedule and live-streaming information.
