I agree. Roberson was a very effective rim protector but I don't think only having 3 is a problem. If it's 3 games? it's only a 30 minute workout with TO's and not having to run a full floor. A single practice at UConn would be tougher than that. And coach Elliot seemed to like what she was seeing in that short look at her.I think the US can still go through the gauntlet tomorrow 3 against 4 and win the gold. Won't be easy but that lineup is so quick now and has such IQ that their opponents are up against a buzzsaw.
That's why in part Sarah is preferable as a PF on Defense and not a SF.I doubt she’ll need to be a primary defender for quick guards on UCONN, post players are typically slower and that’s likely who she’ll match up with.
Strong ending game 2:
The two playing with Sarah are also Players of Interest for UCONN, so this gauntlet may result in hardware to launch more UConn Huskies than just Sarah's college career....That's what we need! A demoralizing killer instinct! Looking forward to Strong in a UConn uniform this fall!
Should the USA team continue to advance there are three more game until the "GOLD MEDAL" game.Their last pool play game is today i know but does anyone know the schedule of the tournament after pool play? Worried about those girls only having 3 players.
Yeah u can tell she loves to pass. In one of the games today she was open under the basket for a layup and she did a behind the head pass for a 3. The three missed, but it was a fun play. But the passing is pretty unique for a big. And since Jana is a scorer, I can see them complimenting each other well.Sarah Strong with the BEAUTIFUL " DIME" NICE!
"Seeing" is believing! If Sarah is not the MVP of the tournament it is only becauseAm I crazy/biased when I watch Sarah or does she just not play like a teenager? Her skill set seems so advanced to me it always feels like I am watching someone in their mid 20s play pick up with high schoolers but maybe its my blue and white colored glasses? I don't remember seeing a player come in to college with this kind of game before. Obviously not saying she's the BEST player to come in to college but maybe the most unique top prospect in a while.
Sarah missed a few shots but also made a bunch and had a fabulous bounce pass for an assist. Think she looked a bit vulnerable defensively against quick players off the dribble.

She is such a potential "force."
Holy crap! Sarah is quicker than I thought! Thanks for sharing this clip with us.
I also see her as a Perfect 5 on 5 player within structure. Her passing is extremely elite. And she is a beast with an ability to score inside and out. These 3 factors combined make her special in any style.Sarah seems like the nearly perfect 3x3 player. Damn, she is good! I see her as a starter in November.
Next up Ukraine 3- 0 or China 2 -1 to meet USA at 12:20 PM in the SEMIFINAL GAME.US methodically beats Spain 18-12 to advance to the semis.
Spain missed 7 Ft's or else it would've been really tight.
