Well, Canada won by the skin of their teeth in double OT over Argentina 76-75.  Personally, I was resigned to a loss until Fortner drew up a crafty last second play where Swords scored the winning basket.

Overall observations:

1)  Day-Wilson is not the answer for PG at this time, especially with her issues with shooting and decision making right now.

2)  Gibb and Swords held their own at this level, but can get picked on defensively, especially Gibb.  At the same time, it was very telling to see them both play double overtime and Day-Wilson remained on the bench.

3)  The forward/post position depth for Canada could be a problem when they can't rely on WNBA players.  Kayla Alexander handled majority of the playing time with Kyei and Potter used sparingly.

4)  If the youth movement is really here, Canada Basketball needs to prove it during U19 and return with another medal.  Hopefully Swords and Gibb won't be too gassed for the tournament.
