nice drive by DT, can't finish.....

 

[VAMike23]

Tina needs a little more patience in the post, Maya cleans up the O-board.... now a 3 by CHN

 

[RadyLady]

Sue, Dee Maya, Tina and Catch start, Tina with a quick foul, but Maya scores on the other end

 

[flatcoatmom]

4 UConn starters plus Catchings? Glad to see Maya starting -

 

[RadyLady]

China walked to the basket on that last 2, where's the beef....I mean defense?

 

[RadyLady]

Smooth shot for Dee, 4-6 China for now

 

[flatcoatmom]

Looks like Diana is on today - yay!

 

[RadyLady]

Dee, spin move to the hole, now 6-8 China who shot two frees but I missed who committed the foul

 

[RadyLady]

Score tied on a two by Tina, china answers on the other end

 

[RadyLady]

Nice assist Catch to Tina for 2

 

[VAMike23]

Great dishes by Maya and Catch on consecutive possessions!

 

[RadyLady]

China right now is answering us point for point...10-12 china, we miss a 3,
Diana picks the pocket of a Chinese player takes it to the hole and is fouled

 

[RadyLady]

Diana shooting 2, score is now tied

 

[VAMike23]

Have they come out and said that Big Syl will be on the floor in the medal rounds? Or is even that in doubt?

 

[RadyLady]

China now shooting 2 after being fouled by someone...who?
China tries to press, US beats it, Dee for two score tied
Maya steal, to Catch to Tina, score!!!!!

 

[VAMike23]

Maya should have taken that midrange J and let Tina reb if necessary

 

[flatcoatmom]

Have they come out and said that Big Syl will be on the floor in the medal rounds? Or is even that in doubt?

I haven't heard hem say anything one way or the other -

 

[RadyLady]

16 - 14 USA 4:25 left in Q1

 

[RadyLady]

China big has a good hook shot, score tied again

 

[VAMike23]

CP3 checking in, for Maya? we will see

 

[VAMike23]

I think Geno was actually looking for Maya to shoot that 3 rather than dump it down (not that it was a bad entry)

 

[RadyLady]

CP3 checking in, for Maya? we will see

dunno, time out with 3:55 left in the quarter

 

[RadyLady]

How we doing Semper?

 

[VAMike23]

Will be good to have CP3 in for extra shot blocking

Looks like she's at the 5
