Sorry, but I don't understand/get the point you're trying to make here. Aaliyah and Yvonne weren't in university at this point? Which final four are you referring to? If it's the FIBA U19 Worlds, Canada didn't make it to the semi-finals.
Aaliyah looks good, and couldn't miss that she was playing with her mask on. I guess that may answer the question about that this year.
The 2019 NCAA Final Four featured an NBA Academy event where four teams worth of recruiting age foreign players played some exhibition games in front of college coaches and a crowd. Nika was the MVP and Aaliyah was on her team. Yvonne and Georgia Amoore were the other two who had the most college prominence. I wish that I had gotten my roster back after letting a UConn fan borrow it, but I know that Ruby Porter, who played at Nebraska, and Shelby Rayner, who last played at Northwestern State were also participants. Outside of a few countries, they were not able to attract many top prospects because this was probably around the peak of mistrust of the NBA by the major federations around the world.
Ah...........you're referring to Basketball without Borders. The reference to the FInal Four is what confused me. I think you have MVPs confused as Aaliyah earned that award.

AmeriCup Quarterfinals July 7th
The quarterfinals were played on Friday with teams looking to advance and set their places in the Olympic qualifying process. The United States started fast on their way to a 68-49 win over Colombi…
The results mean that Canada needs to win against the United States to have a chance at direct qualification to a February Olympic qualifying tournament instead of having to play an additional tournament.
Wait, are you repeatedly suggesting that I hallucinated a day of my life?
There are definitely some people on this board who wish that they had been hallucinating the night before.
The event is as I described. Here is an article talking about its impact a few years later:

No, they are two separate events. The one that Aaliyah won MVP of was the Basketball Without Borders at the NBA All Star weekend in February of that year:
. Nor their lack of composure. Colley letting Kelly get to her and earn a technical? That's not a veteran play.Tough loss for Canada even though Aaliyah had 14 points and 11 rebounds as they just could not get their guards going:

The 67-63 loss to the United States means that Brazil takes the other direct spot in Olympic qualifying from the Americas. Canada will be have to finish as one of the top two out of four teams to move on to the final qualifying tournament. While, college players are unlikely to be available, WNBA players should be selectable.

As you can see, there were some of the same participants, but also a lot of differences. FIBA is involved in BWB, but was not involved in this.
Yeah Prosper was pretty impressive. She was basically posting up and going one on one and the us guards couldn't handle her. I was definitely impressed by her and overall both teams. There was lot of skilled one on one play in my opinion. It was a good game. It felt like the US was in control for most of the game until Canada made a few plays and suddenly took the lead. It was like 58-61 and Deja Kelly drew a key foul that stopped the bleeding ( I didn't love the play as I thought she was just looking for the foul).Then Rickea Jackson stepped up big time. Overall it was a good showing from both sides imo. AE continues to show she can score in a variety of ways and defend at a high level.
It did, however when two guards take 30+ shots and aren't efficient with their shooting, the bigs being free to operate is pointless. Shay Colley was 2/14, Fields was 6/24. Ludicrous.
