The U.S. women's basketball team looks to stay undefeated at the 2012 Olympics when they take on the Czech Republic on Friday.

The two teams are set to square off at 5:15 p.m. ET in London. The contest will be broadcast on the NBC Sports Network. You can also watch a free live stream online by clicking here.

Once again, Team USA comes into this one as heavy favorites. The club hasn't lost at the Games since 1992 and is a 31-point favorite.

The Americans have cruised through their first three games, winning by an average of 36 points. Angel McCoughtry is the team's leading scorer, putting up 13.67 points per game.

Team USA will have to look out for Katarina Elhotova and Hana Horakova. The two guards are the best players on a struggling Czech Republic team that is 1-2 in London.

Both clubs are very familiar with each other. They faced off in 2010 for the world championship title game, and according to U.S. assistant coach Doug Bruno, their opponent hasn't changed much in two years.

"They are a very similar team to what they were two years ago," said the DePaul university head coach. I think they have been in a little bit of a rut going 0-2 start their Olympic play, and they are trying to fight their way out of it."

After their matchup with the Czech Republic, Team USA takes on China on Sunday in their final game of group play.
