Who is 6-9?

 

[RadyLady]

Clean, pretty game for USA against a very overmatched opponant. We need to translate this kind of game against Australia who is in our bracket, and we will meet not in the final (god willing) but in elimination.

 

[RadyLady]

Who is 6-9?

a (very tall) gal on the Chinses team. Very tall, very thin, I think on the team for her height and to gain experience. She is a work in progress according to the announcers

I hope the Chinese players don't get their houses burned down for losing. Should be a law against what happens to Chinese atheletes who lose. But who would enforce it?

Anyway, how we doin?

Chatter is talking about records falling:
66% shooting is the record, currently USA has 67% shooting
As such, 30 assists is the record, USA currently at 29. As this is the beginning of the 4th quarter, this baby's gonna fall

 

[RadyLady]

98-55
Jones, Cash, Whelan, Augustus, and Angel in for USA

USA has a chance. Pretty or not, it is a shame that they don't get more kudos by major market sports news
