    Should be the toughest game for Team USA. However, still expect them to win by 20+ points. Brazil has to be building for the 2016 Olympics and I suspect members of this U18 for them will be on their Olympic team.

    I'm excited about getting a first hand look at the stars of tomorrow. Should be fun to watch.

    I haven't been able to see any of the games either and am also super-excited; this will be the first time I've seen them play since the McD AA game, which really isn't the best context to see their abilities.

    Hope you're on the mend - I'm sure the newest Lady Bear and the newest Huskies will put on a good show for you tonight :)

    Canada just blew a 15 point lead and lost the bronze medal game to Argentina (a day after Argentina lost a 15 point lead to Brazil!)

    And looked pretty offensively hopeless in the process. I think playing the US is bad for your confidence...

    I was sure Canada would win the Bronze Medal as their Women's BB program has been improving. Guess they need to have more of their players attend American Universities. They'll probably have a good U19 team at the World Championships next year

    USA apparently needs to be reminded that they have a game tonight.

    I thought you were being uncharacteristically discreet. :)

    Seriously, welcome back! I hope you are doing well.

    Yep, it's not well attended, but there's a hoop and a court and everything.
