This is a very sloppy first half. If they play like this against Canada they will lose.

Not a good half for USA Poor fowl shooting, ball handling, Picks Sloppy seems accurate

They are playing a lot of games and giving every player a night off to rest muscles is smart coaching.
Playing just to play and letting them play badly is in no way smart coaching.

Coaching. All that talent and its "I'm gonna get mine ball"
He can coach? I thought he just puts them on the floor and says play basketball.

I'm going to be Mr Positive and assume it's only a day to day sprain/strain...if she's really hurt that could become a serious issue for next season......ONO better just take it easy out there

No games tomorrow. If she has a mild sprain, two days rest may help. If not, let her sit and lead the cheers.

They look horrific to me. But I'm just a former girls HS coach. What do I know?

As soon as this tournament is over, I'm having open tryouts to pick a new team. Tryout will be at Los Oso Gym in Rancho Cucamonga California. Date pending. Team will be coached B. Crichlow.

Prince down and she reached for her left knee. Sucks.

Prince goes down in a heap after trying to block a shot on a breakaway. She clutched at her knee. I fear the worst.

It happened when she landed. It may be an acl or a fracture of her tibia.
It's not good in either case.

No C Will in the second half either.
More of the walking wounded ?

OMG that is just horrible! Feel awful for the kid. That has to be devastating for her - just before her freshman year in college. Best wishes for a speedy recovery...
Agree, but if it is a broken leg she could still play this year, that would not be the case with a tor ACL.

With 7 minutes to go it looks like they will break 100 points. Didn't think they would have got past 80 after the 1st quarter.

Prince's injury took all of the air out of my sails. I'm not enjoying this game anymore, it can't be over soon enough. :mad:

With the tournament being this close to the start of classes, if I was a college coach I would have serious reservations about letting my players be on the team. I know it is a national squad and it is great honor--still. Karen Aston has to be sick.

Aston is cussing up a blue streak right now.
