Huge rebound game for Makeer today. Prawl so-so.

The stats are deceptive from what I watched today. Yes Makeer bounced back, but her fouls and turnovers should be noted. Four fouls, included an offensive call where she should have known better. A couple defensive calls where she was way more aggressive than necessary. That will need to be cleaned up going into the quarters.

Haven't been impressed with Prawl either. Not sure if her time at IMG has really helped her improve her game. Like Makeer, she had bad turnovers and a bad offensive foul.

The final score is deceptive as well. Canada got sloppy during the second and third quarter, including a scoring drought of almost 8 minutes during the third quarter. They need to step it up if they want to make it back to the medal round.

Today is a day off at the WWC U17. Tomorrow the quarter-finals begin. The USA, Canada and Australia will now play their last 3 matches in Leon, which is about 40 miles from Irapuato where they played their first 4 matches. For Croatia, who suffered a heartbreaking defeat yesterday, the team will stay in Irapuato for their last three matches, determining positions 9 to 16. Yesterday Olivia was having a very strong game, with a 29 Efficiency statistic when she had to leave on a 5th foul with just under 8 minutes left in the game, with Croatia ahead by 1 at the time.

I'd like to have Auriemma check into the availability of this Sara Okeke of Spain. A quick, aggressive, 6-4 post who likes contact and has all kinds of offensive potential. There's not many of these type of athletes at this size in the US right now, have to go out and find them.

I agree with you, she put Lara Somfai and her team in trouble right from the start, with just over 3 minutes to play in the game, when Lara took her second foul on her. Her impressive stats at the end of the game showed, 28 pts, 10 rebounds and efficiency of 33.
 
The USA team, who was down by 16 in the middle of the 3rd quarter to France in the semifinals, tightened up the defense and wound up winning by 18 !!
Robinson led the way with 29 points.
The USA overwhelmed France on the boards.

Was really surprised at the shooting percentages at half time. Felt like if she wasn't there, this game would have been very different.
