Completely agree. Some of the line ups made no real sense. The Czechs U17 screen better than half of the WCBB Top 25.Czechs are not a bad team but USA should have easily won this game by 15-20 points. must tighten up in all areas if they want to win this championship......
Why do you say that? The box shows 1-9 shooting and 5 turnovers, but 16 rebounds.I'm fairly certain that DeCosta would drive Geno that much closer to retirement
Those 8 misses were all lay ups. At least 3 I saw were uncontested... literally wide open. She did do a really good job getting in position for rebounds and was willing to chase down some long ones and hustled up and down the floor. I could have sworn she verballed to Cal but I looked everywhere and no such thing exists... To be fair, three of the 8 were also all on one possession.Why do you say that?

Thanks. Geno would threaten to pull DeCosta's scholarship for missing layups. Maybe some of her rebounds were off her own misses, like Tina in her early years but she is a great rebounder.Those 8 misses were all lay ups.

She is youngest member of the team, she is there mostly for the experience will likely STAR with the U16 team next year.LOL... if we could make a layup. Can't imagine what the score would be or free throw. Why no Sam Brunelle? Is she injured?
She couldn't have shot any worse than DeCosta... heck give her a few minutes. We certainly weren't gonna win this one going away with the turnovers we were having. I would've loved to have seen her out there @ the 4 and Nelson-Ododa @ 5. They really could have gone 4 out 1 in vs the czechs. I just felt like some of the line ups were really strange.She is youngest member of the team, she is there mostly for the experience will likely STAR with the U16 team next year.

I'm not sure if she typically shoots that low of a % but yeah I hear ya. It could be the physicality, the odd ball you have to play with in international play, or perhaps it is typical for her which I doubt. Some of the misses today were just so strange all around @ the free throw line and besides. They need to move their offense up the floor a bit. They are starting the offense way too close to the end line.Nelson-Odda was a major factor again but she would make life a lot easier for her team and herself if she practiced her foul shooting..don't have the stats in front of me but must have shot 30% from the line with a fair number of attempts
