Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 4394719, member: 10709"] Yup - it's the big sister spanking the little sister syndrome Canada continues to suffer when facing the US. First quarter did the team in. Credit to the US defensive scheme making it impossible to get the ball inside, however Canada also didn't stick to what had been working for them. Their transition defence was HORRIBLE. It was total loss of mental focus as this was key in trying to slow the US down a bit. If it wasn't an early AM game, I would have made transition lay ups a drinking game. It would have made the game a tad more tolerable to watch. The team put up the white flag in the third once they started bringing in players like Gilles and Hanson. Makes sense with the bronze match being less than 24 hours away, but sucked to see it happen at the same time. One glint of silver lining was seeing Kyei providing some flashes of her potential. With 4 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks in 17 minutes as an 18 year old, this will be a big boost to her confidence, especially for the upcoming NCAA season. [/QUOTE]
