Napheesa & Paige Bueckers to Represent USA on 3 x 3 Team.

[eebmg]

I am guessing some version of the games will be made available on some platform. Very interested in seeing how Paige is running the show. Seems her deep shots are working just fine.

22-4 win over Jordan.

The competition was clearly overmatched, but nice to see how well balanced the scoring was — and rather shocking to see Napheesa with lowest shooting percentage on the team.

I sure wish they also statted rebounds and assists in 3x3 ball.

Collier benefited from several Bueckers passes. I was lucky to find the stream just after the game started. Jordan was totally outclassed so it's difficult to assess the US team but Bueckers fit right in but can't really say she "ran the show". No distinct roles in 3X3.

Is the link still active. In many of the 3 x 3 events, the whole days' games are piped continuously and can be replayed?

It looks like they stream one event at a time. Very disorganized site. Soccer on sand is on right now.

“We play together really well,” said Bueckers. “We pound it inside, but we also have me and Jackie to shoot it. So, we’re really balanced. If you stop one, you can’t stop the other. We play as a team and we’re selfless. That’s what I like about this group.”

Bueckers must be thinking that if she played 4 years with Collier she'd shatter the NCAA assist record. PB tossed a lot of nice soft perfectly located passes to everyone. In fact everyone passed really well, but Jordan was short. Let's see what Russia has brought.

The American women close out their preliminary pool against also unbeaten Russia on Oct. 15 (8 a.m. EDT).

For those who watch I learned a bit of strategy from the article.

Bueckers again netted a 2-pointer to end the game.
“Our game plan is to get 22 each game because if there’s a tiebreaker, it’s whoever has the most points,” said Bueckers on her team’s game-ending strategy. “So, whenever we are up at the end by a lot and we can get 22 (points), that’s always the plan.”

Nice strategy if you can hit it and Paige took both 2 pt shots for bit games to seal it. Pretty cool.

I think she'd do ok with Hebard as well.

She hit her 1st one and the last one. I am sure roles will change but vs Jordan Paige spent more time outside, lobbing passes inside. But she had one nice drive where she flashed by 2 defenders and scored and there was at least one midranger that was nothing but net.

Ok. The day 3 is now in replay mode. I found the US Jordan Game so far. Starts around 13hr 13 minute

Will try to be patient and see if I can find the time stamp for the other game.

You are right. And Collier's fantastic hands are wasted the way Bueckers can drop it into the perfect spot. I think even I could catch one of her passes.

I think this is the type of thing fans think about. Bueckers is probably thinking about winning and learning and soaking up the experience. Or at least let's hope she is.

I think Paige's mindset is whoever is on the court with me. I will make them better. She is as confident as they come.

So Paige appears to be the spokesperson for a team with 2 professionals and a college senior. So much for respecting your elders. I kind of like it.

Make no mistake, when Paige shows up on campus next summer, if the keys to the Ferrari are not waiting for her in her locker when she arrives, she’ll be in Geno’s office 2 minutes later demanding them.

As pointed out by many, Our 3rd group game against Russia is 8AM today. Should be competative.

Hope it is on the live feed although the description blurb does not mention 3 x 3 Basketball. Probably live coverage is reserved for medal opportunities.

Really. Kitefoil.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

US is cruising behind Jackie Young. This will put them in the quarterfinals tomorrow.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Russia is 2-18 from the field.

Collier and Hebard have been inefficient and it's still a UConn-like blowout.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

US wins 22-3. Paige hit two "threes" including the one that ended it.

Hopefully, a replay will pop up later.
