2018 Team USA

Stewie doesn't look like a gangly kid anymore.

Stewie got pushed around a little by the pros and didn’t get any calls in Istanbul in 2014. The 2018 World Cup will be subtitled “Revenge of the Stewie.”

No Laksa interview?

In Voeple's latest article, the tv coverage seems slightly different than what I thought.

The Americans' other Group D games are against China on Sunday and Latvia on Tuesday (both also we be on ESPN+ at 1 p.m. ET). All the tournament's group play will be on ESPN+, and ESPN networks will carry the quarterfinals and semifinals on a channel to be determined, with the championship game on ESPN. The World Cup winner gets an automatic berth into the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Also, a quick scrimmage with the final 12 roster

The 12 to make the final roster haven't all played together this year until Wednesday, when they faced Australia in a scrimmage the Americans won 70-60

Now, SHE is a nasty piece of business!

 

[MilfordHusky]

A record 5th World Cup. The most decorated athlete in USAB and FIBA history. And she's still going strong as the Masked Marvel.

I have no idea what is going on with Skylar.

I now have an idea what was going on with Skylar

So cryptic but congratulations.

Congrats to Sky and her hubby! Will she play at all in the W next season?

Gosh knows what the exact timing of that sonogram is, but that would be an awfully tight squeeze, at best.

Hmm -- Maybe she joins the squad for the back half? Or maybe she takes the whole season off? She shouldn't try and rush back

Anyway, congrats to the happy couple !

Hmm...taking an idea from the thread of current WNBA players whose dads were in the NBA, here's another tact:

Andrew Wiggins (NBAer) and Mychal Johnson (member of ND's 2017-18 NC team) just had a daughter.
Skylar Diggins (WNBA player and ND legend) and her husband Daniel Smith (ND football player) will have a child (kinock on wood) in 2019.

Depending on the sex, could have some ND backcourt mates in less than two decades. (gotta get an early start on these machinations! )

Muffet will be like 100 years old.

Trumps any game I can think of.

Hah! I think just a tinge past 80 when they'd be frosh (Pretty sure she and Geno are a year apart in age).

That leads into the ND succession thread which we'll hold for awhile ......
