Heads-up: KML/Bria on TV Saturday at....

[VAMike23]

Bria fouls Tolo, who will shoot 2. Oops it's on one of our bigs not Bria. She fouls out.

Tolo makes both, AUS by 2

1:08 to play.

 

[VAMike23]

Bradford (Central Mich) misses a FT, AUS by 1 and the ball.

USA gets the ball on a shot clock violation , down 1

29 secs remain. Time out on the floor.

 

[reno tony]

Down by 1... 29 seconds to go...US ball.

 

[reno tony]

us by 1 14.4 seconds aussie ball

 

[VAMike23]

Bradford walks (IMO) no call , then gets her own rebound inside and scores!! USA by 1 with 14 secs

 

[VAMike23]

Jump ball called rather than reach in on AUS, possession to AUS, Tolo then misses, Sims rebound,

USA wins!!!!!!!

USA will play Russia for the gold. Final 79-78 USA

Bad jump ball call almost cost us the game.

[reno tony]

great game.... aus has a very good team

 

[Wbbfan1]

Thought Australia would win after IMHO a Bogus Held Ball Call with 7 seconds left. Good Defense by Team USA in last minute of the game

 

[cannon]

win by one!
& they tried to cheat us with that bs jump ball

Anyone hear why Shoni did not play?

 

[Phil]

OMG

That was scary.

Glad that questionable jump ball call did not matter.

Tru but IMO Bradford walked before her miss in the lane at the 14 sec mark no call, then she cleaned up the rebound

How to blow a 15 point lead.

Hartley had a nice three point play when it was cut to seven, I thought that might be the final straw, it wasn't but that play sure was needed.

Good Q - it was mostly Odyssey and a small bit of Massengale at the point and that was it

No worries :-D

Sherri cut the rotation back in this game. Odyssey with 32 mins, KML and Bria with 35. Shoni didn't play (injury?), Gray with 1 min and Liston with 8 mins.

Odyssey 20 pts + 6 rebs + 4 assts
Bria 14 pts + 5 assts (1 TO)
KML 12 pts + 11 rebs

 

[VAMike23]

Late in the game, announcer (American) called Tolo the best player on the floor - she is good/tough/big but to me Odyssey looked like the best player on the floor today and would be my POG as well.

She would have been much better than Massingale, ugh.
