Good luck USA!

Link on the page goes to an article about UConn target Boykin....a 2015'er. Katie Samuelson...UConn target from 2015...also on the team.

It will be interesting to see if the rising soph...6'9" Mulkey....gets any PT except in garbage time.

What is even more impressive is that according to the box score, the USA had only 4 starters
Durr is one heck of a player...hopefully she'll consider joining the best team in basketball and play for the best coach in WBB!

Since I saw a couple videos of her, I've been saying Durr's the one we want out of this class. Or the next few classes. She's gonna be a great one.

U16 team plays Argentina at 7pm EDT(4pm on my coast)
Argentina also won their first game yesterday.

 

[Blakeon18]

Yikes! USA 98...Argentina 28. Costa Rica today.

Asia had 23 against Argentina. DeJanae Boykin had 12/12 with 4 assists. Katie had 11/8.

 

[Phil]

Yikes, the USA gave up 4 points in first quarter, I presume there was a discussion about stepping up the defense, and they cut the number of points in the second quarter in half.

 

[Phil]

Costa Rica just hit a 3. come back

Cox is scoring at will.

Mulkey in very tall, Has 17 points

Costa Rice hits a three at the buzzer, to bring the final score to 106-19
