JAPAN VS. FRANCE
Japan put together a thriller against Belgium in the women’s quarterfinals, earning a huge 86-85 victory to earn a date with a French team coming off a massive win of its own against the defending women’s silver medalists.
The Japanese have never earned a medal in men’s or women’s basketball at the Olympics, so a win over France could prove to be yet another standout moment for the host country as it continues its gold rush in Tokyo.
Japan already defeated France once during the preliminary round by a score of 74-70. Per usual, the Japanese were extremely efficient from beyond the arc in that contest, making 41 percent of their shots from three-point range. If that strong shooting can carry over into Friday morning, Japan will have a very good shot at winning its first basketball medal.
