3X3, U18 World Cup (merged)

[darrell]

Look like Sarah’s Summer of USA Basketball isn’t finished just yet. She’ll be playing for Team USA’s 3X3 U18 team.

She’ll be teammates with Jazzy Davidson (‘25) and Saniyah Hall (‘26), both heavy POIs.

Obviously a great potential advantage in recruiting those two. I think on paper that should be a very good team.

Phew... Was wondering what the "2x3" team would look like..

 

[Kaizen]

Go Strong my girl ~~~

 

[Bald Husky]

Congratulations to Sarah on making the 3x3 team again. Maybe she can do some recruiting as Jasmine Davidson will be one of her teammates. I believe Jasmine is a player of interest for UConn, so hopefully she can convince her to come to Storrs.

I just checked the FIBA website and the FIBA list of the USA team's heights:
Jazzy D 186 cm which converts to 73.728 inches and then to 6 feet 1 728/100 inches rounded up 6 feet two inches?
Saniyah H 186 cm same as Jazzy just under 6 feet two inches
Adianna R. 193 cm converts to 75.984 inches or six feet 3 984/100 inches or rounded up to 6 feet four inches
Sarah S. 190 cm converts to 74.803 inches or six feet two and 803/100 inches or rounded up to almost 6 foot three inches
So.... if you believe that FIBA Measurement stats are more accurate than most measurements..... then
SARAH STRONG is almost six foot three ??

Good luck Team USA!!

1.90 m works for me; Runner-Up: 6' 2.8"; 3rd place: 6' 2 3/4"

At any rate: Gold medals (again for the "STRONG" Team) and Jazzy D verbal commitment at the Gold Medal Ceremony would be nice....

Go Huskies! BOTS!!!! [excellent acronym: Bring On The Season from an outstanding poster from an earlier thread, not AI Spammers]

GAME 1 USA 21 - EGYPT 5 Sarah was "STRONG" with 4 two pointers ( three
point range ). The USA is the TALLEST team in the tournament. S. Hall,
A. Roberson (sp), J. Davidson all looking good. Multiple blocked shots.
Next game is 9:20 this AM against Latvia. If you choose to follow this
tournament, check in early, the Starting times today were different the those
originally posted a few days ago. Germany and France play later today, probably
at 1:20. They are two strong teams. Undefeated so far: Japan, China, Group C
and Ukraine in Group A. One link is : Fiba 3X3 U 18 Women's World Cup, 2024
Replays are on FIBA 3X3 You Tube.
Sarah's Mom is in the audience!

Strong made that look like a walk in the park. She scored or assisted on 14 of USA's 21 points.

The video should be up shortly.

[Sluconn Husky]

Sarah's highlights. Skip if you'd rather watch the game.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Sanyiah Hall looked really good too. Active defensively, physical, and skilled.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Game two underway and it's raining. Jamelle is on hand to watch Sarah and the two UConn offerees.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Don't see a lot of rain delays in basketball.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Strong has two terrific assists since play resumed.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Ok, make that three as she channels Magic Johnson.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Now four after a steal.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

US wins their second game against Latvia 21-11.

SS with a passing clinic. Davidson was really good and Hall had some moments as well.
