Australia out of Medal Competition Lose to Serbia 73-71

Penny Taylor with 2 points, although she did have 9 assists. I wonder how the Aussie loss (Penny's loss) will affect DT.

Crazy stuff happens in knockout rounds. Geno has won NCAA tournaments and by ensuring sure his teams have stayed focused when the potential toughest opponents have lost. One need only go back at 2009, 2013, and 2016, to see what it's like playing with the path to a championship clearing up tremendously as a result of unexpected losses. Who is the international equivalent of Louisville and Syracuse?

Crazy stuff happens in knock-out tournaments just as it does in any single game - all it takes is a team who for 40 minutes shoots lights out or alternatively a great team having 40 minutes where they cannot get the ball in the basket. 2001 DT is a prime example, not sure she has ever shot so poorly in a single game before or since. Luckily for us USA and Uconn fans, 20 minutes of bad play or an opponents unconscious shooting is about as bad as it usually gets.

Well...full disclosure - the game was already half over when I posted. But, just sayin'....

I noticed that but I am not one to point out such things.
