Canada looks to advance to the Olympic women's basketball semi final for the first time when it takes on France in a quarter final match at the Rio Games.
Canada advanced past the group stage for the second straight Olympics by finishing third in Group B with a 3-2 record. France also went 3-2 and was the second place team in Group A.
This is the third meeting in 10 weeks between the teams, with Team Canada having won a pair of exhibition games against France, the most recent a 72-63 victory late last month at the USA Basketball Showcase in New York's Madison Square Garden.
After starting 3-0, the Canadians have dropped their last two games, including a hard-fought 73-60 defeat against Spain on Sunday. Team France has been off since Saturday, when it lost 79-71 to Japan.
Team Canada is into the quarterfinals for just the second time ever, and second consecutive Games, following 2012 when it was eliminated by the USA in London. France is 1-1 all-time in the quarterfinal round, losing to South Korea in 2000 before getting past the Czech Republic in 2012.
The winner of Tuesday's game will play either the United States or Japan in a semi-final on Thursday.
