Nice Birthday Cake, Aaliyah!   For  dessert,  some  "winning" smiles
( against  France  ,  3:30 PM  Today, Sunday )
        For a review/ preview    Game  1  was  Canada   73  France  56
Canada  with the Rebound advantage   53  -  31
Canada with  the  Free throws conversions    21 for 30
Canada with the  offensive  rebound advantage    24  to  11
Canada with the  3 point shooting  advantage     8  for  26 ( is that an advantage??  30%)
France with the   field goal advantage   36  %  to  Canada   34 and 2 point advantage   40 %  to  36 %
Other notable facts    France should be tired with their   74  -  73  victory over Belgium yesterday
But.. only   7 of   12 players  scored for  France,  but it was very even scoring:   14 points,  12 points,  12 points,  10
points,   9 points  (X2) , and  8 points.
Note:  the Canadian starters are from   UCONN : Aaliyah;  Louisville:  Russell:   Arizona: Pennington: 
 Duke:  Shy Day- Wilson.  Phillipina Kyei,  Oregon.  With a  Canadian bench from   U of Miami (2),  Oregon, Gonzaga,
Virginia Commonwealth.     France  has club players, some " pros" ( I assume) and 
two  players  from  USA colleges:    Emmanuelle  Tahane  6'2"    originally at  U  of Missouri and 
then  U of Rhode Island and   Kadiatou Sissoko   starting out at Syracuse and transfering  to  Minnesota.
Finally France has  one "taller" player:  Oumou Diarisso   6'4"    from  Tarbes  GB club  (played in the Eurocup  W  2022. )
Oumou does not usually play a lot of minutes but she played  20;09  minutes in game #1 with   8  points,  8 rebounds.
             So IMO sounds like a win,   but  the Maple Leafs still have to play the game!  Go Aaliyah!
