GB won with a solid effort from all. 92-71
Karlie Samuelson had 28 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Temi Fagbenle led with 29 points.
Karlie had another shake and bake move for a lay up late in the game.
I have to believe when Eurobasket is over she will get a chance in the WNBA before the season is over.

No way.With the Sky.On the other hand, would Karlie push Lou out?
I think I know where she might wind up but cant say yet.
Here is the hi-lite video for Karlie. Note the last basket is a head fake lay up going right by Glory Johnson(Tenn/Dallas-WNBA) I guess they dont teach defense at UT

Wow Karlie is killing it over there, really happy for her. The various highlights indicate she is really good at making contested shots. Uncontested ones as well, of course.
She joined the Sparks last season at some point along the way. Even though they cut her this year she was one of the last cuts, lives in the area, played well in the exhibitions, and is undoubtedly still on good terms with the team. So if there is an opening there I wouldn’t be shocked by the Spark(s). Heh heh.
I was fortunate enough to meet Karlie on the way back to Connecticut from the Final Four in Tampa. Now I’m a fan of 44 and 33!

Catching Hungary / GB now on ESPN+
Let's go Karlie
Edit: Damn it. Karlie injured her foot and had to leave the court in Q1. No update yet.
Edit2: Karlie back in the Game. Just a little tweek.
Final edit:
What a weird game. GB beats Hungary 62-59. Hungary's center missed so many layups and Yvonne Turner had a really poor game until mid way through 4th Q but GB had her scouted really well. Karlie did not have a good offensive game but she is a defensive pest. Fagbenle was incredible with really good post moves. She should be a big help to the Lynx when she gets back.

I am sure she will try out with Team USA first. I would think she wants to be on the 2020, 2024, and or the 2028 team(s) Whether she makes the team would be based on the teams needs and make up, and of course her health. I am not sure if GBB has qualified for the 2020 Olympics, although they did qualify, with todays win, for the Olympic trials for Euro teams.

Hartley's teammate, Marine Johannes, had 20 pts on 50% shooting, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, and 2 blocks. While she is not a UCONN alumnus, she and Hartley should be joining UCONN South (The NY Liberty) next week. Not sure where Kiah Stokes has been as Turkey was ousted a while ago. With Amanda B returning too and hopefully Rebecca Allen recovering from injury, the NY Liberty, which now has won four games in a row (7-7) on the backs of Nurse and Charles while short-handed, should be formidable.

Johannes is really good.
17 for Bria, but France loses the final 86-66 to Spain for their fourth silver medal in a row in this competition:
