The United States women’s basketball team advanced to the semifinals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Tuesday after dismantling the South Korean women’s team 104-60.
Sylvia Fowles led the charge with 26 points and 14 rebounds as the Americans coasted after a tougher than expected first quarter. The U.S. led 25-21 at the end of the first but then used a 26-9 second quarter to pad their lead and after halftime the South Koreans were buried.
The U.S. will now face the winner of the Spain v. Russia game in the semis.
China also advanced on Tuesday after beating Belarus 77-62 and they will face Australia who blasted the Czech Republic 79-46 to remain undefeated.
