GREAT!!!! Why is there a delay before we can post, anyway? Kinda breaks the flow.

 

[flatcoatmom]

US outscorng CHN 18-4 in second Q - 49-32 now, 3:52 left

 

[RadyLady]

Cast change again:
Sue, Lindsay, Dee, tina and Catch - that right?

 

[flatcoatmom]

Another 3 for D!!! 13 in first half!

 

[RadyLady]

Dee for three....O, that Dee....three threes in the half thus far.
USA up 52-34

 

[semper]

Any ideas about Geno's strategies? Or is he just mixing and matching depending on who's on and who's off...

 

[RadyLady]

talking about geno's subbing this game.....no mass subs, just bits and pieces, and Dee in for all but 2 minutes is allowing her to get in a rhythm, and it is paying off

 

[semper]

Fabulous! Go Dee!!!

 

[RadyLady]

Angel with a steal, dish to Tina for 2!!!!!!!

When did Angel get in?

 

[flatcoatmom]

Day-glo shoes today look more orange - goldenrod, maybe?

 

[RadyLady]

Tine, Angel, Dee, Sue and Catch I believe

Subbed in for Maya? I missed it -

 

[RadyLady]

Dee out, and Maya in
Sue for 3
USA up 35-59 on a Angel steal to Candace....or was it the other way around.

Press is doing bit damage

 

[RadyLady]

Maya for 3, a miss...

 

[RadyLady]

Candace nice dish to Angel for 2....those two are a great team!

 

[flatcoatmom]

CP to Angel - now 61-36. But Geno's not looking too happy - guess that's a good thing. Halftime.

 

[Vowelguy]

China led 28-27 late in Q1.
Since: 32-7. Almost UConnesque.

Seems to be their MO.

 

[RadyLady]

Angel another steal to end the quarter, behind the back pass to Sue who misses sadly.....oh, well. We are only 61-36 at the half. I guess we will do better in the later quarters.

Some pretty basketball being played out there today

Why is Geno looking unhappy. Hey, the men almost lost yesterday....so we are still looking golden, and their counterparts in basketball.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Good crowd - full house. Alyssa arrived in England on Friday, tweeted that she couldn't get a ticket to today's game. She said she'll be watching in a pub. Can't wait to hear how that goes!

You know how Geno is....Strive for excellence...so something out there is not to his liking and he wants to fix it.

Lady Di is trending on twitter. I always wondered how big Diana would be if social media was around when she played in college. If people were impressed by Diggins looks I have to imagine Diana hitting halfcourt bombs, dropping 3's in national title games while dropping F Bombs after being manhandled by 3 players, and winning 3 NC titles would have made her even bigger than she already is (which is pretty big).

 

[flatcoatmom]

US shooting 61% from the field, 5/8 on 3's!

 

[RadyLady]

OK - second half
USA is up by big - we have Sue, Dee, Tina, Maya, and Catch on the floor to start

Dee finished the first half with 16 points BTW and USA way outrebounded the Chinese...Didn't see the assist stats but I am sure that they were up there as well...I also think that we took better care of the basketball as well.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Maya starts the 2d half with a steal and takes it all the way -
