HALF TIME Croatia 49 Egypt 19First Quarter Croatia 32 Egypt 2 (no misprint)
Olivia 8 :34 minutes 7 points
3/5 with one three pointer.
Two rebound ( they did not count
a tap from Olivia to a teammate as a
rebound, it was Olivia's all the way)
seven.
Third Quarter Croatia 74 Egypt 35With the OBVIOUS CROATIAN WIN, Olivia
will be playing against the winner of the
New Zealand ( 3-2) vs Taipei (2 - 3) matchup later Saturday
night.. The logical choice is NEW ZEALAND with
their leader Bailey Flavell who is averaging 20.2 ppg
and has an rating of 19.8.
Another Double Double for Olivia ! 19 points 10 rebounds.Third Quarter Croatia 74 Egypt 35
Olivia 16 points and nine rebounds,
two offensive, two fouls ( one of them
another " touch foul" ). 19
But what is happening to the USA?? OUCH.
GO RED, WHITE, and BLUE, GET IT TOGETHER!!
Yes, Big O will get stronger and become quicker, both helping her offense and defense. She is already one of the best players in her age group with great upside.Stat wise she’s good. And yet I think she could be better.
Second Quarter Croatia 45 Taipei 37First Quarter Taipei 23 Croatia 21
Olivia 10 minutes 12 points
4/6 shooting 4 for 4 free throws
6 rebounds 3 offensive one turnover
one block 17
Just like Japan vs Australia TAIPEI
is quick, swarmming defense and
making their threes. Olivia
has had up to 4 players defending her
when she gets a entry pass.
FINAL SCORE Croatia 86 Taipei 76Third Quarter Croatia 68 Taipei 52
Olivia now at 21 points 18 rebounds with
five offensive. Croatia has turned to
an INSIDE OUT offensive with Oliva
in the low post and kicking it out
to rather open Croatian shooters.
She has added two more steals (3)
AND ONE MORE BLOCKED SHOT (4)
The refs have called her for two
offensive fouls... Apparently true
but they are really ganging up on
Olivia.
Correction: The Croatian team was the NINTH-PLACE finisher in the tournament, not theFinal Stats tally for OLIVIA VUKOSA:
#1 in rebounds and recording the top 3 rebounding total game in the
Tournament 15.6 rebounds per game.
#1 in Blocked shots 2.6 blocks per game
#1 in Efficiency 29.0 rating for the tournament
and record breaking rating of 50 in the # 5 winning game vs Taipei
this exceeded the USA high recorded by Stewie some years ago. ( 38?) Breanna
was not the previous # 1, but was (?) the # 1 at the time of Breanna's record.
#1 in Double Doubles 6 for the tournament
# 1 in free throws attempted in one game 15 versus Taipei
# 1 in free throws made in one game 13 versus Taipei
and merely # 2 in POINTS per game at 19.4 ppg to
the USA's Jerzy ROBINSON who came in #1 at 20.9 ppg, and
who , of course, won the MVP.
OLIVIA was tied for # 3 in two point shots made with 9 per game with
McKenna Woliczka # 13 for the USA.
See FIBA webpage for the article: " RECORD BREAKING VUKOSA
FIRST EVER PLAYER TO HIT 50 IN EFFICIENCY " WAY TO GO OLIVIA!
There are many other summary articles on the FIBA WEBSITE for
the total U 17 tournament.
Watching the Croatia team play, I agree with HopJim's comment, and I feel confident that OLIVIA's stats would haveGive me Big O with UConn's guards and I will put money down on 2+ championships. Put Lara Somfai on that team, and my bet goes up!
Looks like he’s all in on the 5-6 offers he had playing down there. I wonder if he did any other shopping while there. I’d be interested in the availability of Lena Bilic from Croatia and Sara Okeke from Spain.
Nika posted to today as if it was posted today. What about it looks like the Croatian airport?Looks like a Croatian airport but the tourney was in Mexico. You sure this isn't an old pic posted by Nika from the trip to Croatia last year?

Seems like Geno sent her a selfie this morning and then she reposted with a joke. I'm still confused why you would think this is the Croatian airport and not the Mexican airport where the Croatian team is given the Spanish translation under Gate (Puerta). I don't know where Vukosa is but that seems irrelevant. I have not been to Croatia but I find it hard to believe they have English/Spanish signage instead of Croation.Pretty much everything. Also, where is Vukosa? And why would Nika have this on her phone? Not likely she's in Mexico.
