Game thread - Starting line up today?

[UcMiami]

End of Q1 = Australia up 18-11
USA not hitting any outside shots. And committing lots of fouls!

 

[RadyLady]

Play by play is so dry - I wish I could see the game.

 

[easttexastrash]

Cambage now with 9 points and 7 rebounds. Maybe we do need BG. Sounds like the poor interior defense we saw against Canada is continuing.

 

[RadyLady]

Cambage had 9 points in the quarter, Maya and Tina each had 4.

Wish this game was streamed/televised. Would like to know why USA can't draw fouls against Cambage. She's not that mobile.

Maybe because she is 6-8 with long arms? Who says a big player has to foul just because another player is moving.

 

[UcMiami]

USA 7 fouls Aus 4
USA 1-2 foul shots, Aus 6-8

Nneka 1-1
Moore 2-4
Charles 2-5
And Angel for 1-2 on free throws

 

[RadyLady]

Dolson, Nneka, Augustus Whalen and Diggins start the quarter

 

[RadyLady]

Nnecka makes a 2 -

Somebody please tell me if I am spelling her name correctly.

Usually but you just added a C that doesn't belong

 

[RadyLady]

Augustus and Nneka both with steals, sounds like they have stepped up the D, or the ball handling got sloppy down under

Cambage is out again

Stewart on and nails a three!!!

 

[RadyLady]

Sims and Dee are in, Diggins and Whalen are out

USa down by 1

 

[RadyLady]

6:39 in the quarter, we have a time out.

 

[easttexastrash]

Everyone has played other than Sims and McBride. I think we know two players who are probably headed home soon.

 

[UcMiami]

time out - Sims and DT on Diggins and Whalen off
score at 6:30 is now 20-19 Aus

 

[RadyLady]

Sims, Dee, Stewey, Lavender and Simone are on the floor

 

[RadyLady]

Australia makes a 3, score is 19 - 23 AUS

 

[RadyLady]

Lavender makes a bucket....

Well digging has played 5 minutes with 1 TO and 1 foul - not sure that is a strong case. I think they will give each of the borderline players a solid run of minutes to see what they do.
