France’s women’s basketball team advanced to the quarterfinals of the FIBA Women’s World Cup after producing a record-breaking shooting display in a dominant 111-56 victory over Nigeria on Monday.
The French side set a new tournament record by making 22 three-pointers during the match, surpassing the previous mark of 20 three-pointers set by Japan earlier in the competition during its opening victory over Mali.
France controlled the game from the start, using its long-range shooting advantage and strong offensive performance to build an unassailable lead against Nigeria.
The result secured France’s place in the last eight of the tournament, while Nigeria exited the competition after facing one of the most productive shooting performances in the history of the women’s FIBA World Cup.
France’s record performance highlighted its offensive efficiency, with the team converting from beyond the arc at a rate that proved decisive in the one-sided encounter.
