I watch the games on the FIBA "STREAMING" platform, free.
Usually I go to: FIBA U18 Women's 3X3 2021 and click on
" GAMES" = Daily SCHEDULE, WOMEN, UNITED STATES
They usually has something highlighted as "LIVE" or " pending".
DON'T be late, these games are ONLY 10 minutes long with few time outs. That
is why they play two game in the same day. N.B. Players Cannot foul out, fouling
is an " art form " in this format, very strategic!!
There is also information under: TEAMS: women/ ranking points, Guide: competition forms. If you don't get up early the games are generally available under "VIDEO" but this , I have found, is hit and miss, unless you wait a period of time. NOTE the other choices: BRACKETS, NEWS , etc. Let the games begin! ENJOY.
FRANCE SHOULD BE TOUGH, Egypt, somehow, is ranked # 1, I believe
it is because of the number of tournaments that they have competed in and how
many Egyptian teams and individual Egyptian players participated in these qualifying tournaments. As you might guess , MONGOLIA , the nation, has had qualifying tournaments in the past ( i.e. for the OLYMPIC WOMEN 3X3 qualifying rounds) Go AYANNA, Kiki, Janiah, and Mikaylah (sp?)
