Japan shoots way into women's basketball quarters with 102-83 rout of Nigeria

I stopped following Japan when the women's volleyball lost.

The J-women basketball team lives and dies on their 3-pointers - that's how they counteract the bigger teams

Against the US, their 3-pointers started out well, before the US clamped them down and they finished poorly

I stopped following Japan when the women's volleyball lost.

That was a shocker since Japan is more known for women's volleyball than women's basketball

At least Japan still has a chance to qualify for the last knockout round place

The Chinese women volleyball team got it even worse - they're the #1 ranked team, but they're win-less and already eliminated in the group stage with their final game still to play
