Message: [QUOTE="Lynx23, post: 2838688, member: 309"] I thought Canada played well the first half, but the USA was understandably disjointed and had no rhythm. I'm rooting for all UCONN players as I watch the game but, being part French Canadian, want to see Canada acquit itself well. The USA comeback was not a surprise but I expected to see a better game from Canada in the second half. They had played the night before and I imagine they were all dealing with tired legs. Given that this game was not very important, I was surprised to see Kia on the floor as much as she was. I think she played the entire second half. The USA Team will be fine when the starters return to the fold, and having Wilson, Williams and Collier on hand certainly wouldn't hurt. As for Canada, if last night is any indication, there's Nurse, Achonwa, and "everybody else". I know Kia's goal is to medal. It won't be gold, but whether or not that happens will largely depend upon how she and Achonwa assert themselves. It was just one exhibition game, but that's my takeaway. As an aside, after watching this game I wouldn't mind seeing Napheesa in a Liberty uniform next year, or the young lady in the audience signing autographs for her fans (KLS). [/QUOTE]
