Officiating okay so far but the refs need to be reminded that a player can not travel with the ball unless she has possession.
 
Whoever coaches the Russian post players on how to make point blank layups could get a job in the USA. They don't miss and have great footwork around the basket. :)
 
50-38 USA Leads approx 5:30 left in the 3rd qtr. Sloppy play by Team USA, but still able to maintain lead. USA getting into Team Foul Trouble for the qtr.
 
60-44 USA Leads 3:14 left in 3rd Qtr. USA has settled down and getting quick transition baskets. Massengale is playing well since she's been in the game. Bria Hartley has been outstanding....

No foul trouble for US other than Bria with 2. Russia has two players with 3 Fouls.

Odyssey needs to pick it up.

I think Odyssey will pick it up in 2nd half.........We have no foul trouble ; and we have 14-pt lead. She needs to get fast break going and beat defense down the court to be effective because Russians too BIG inside to drive down the lane. Perfect time for her to get our running game started.
 
68-47 End of 3rd Qtr. Team USA goes on 11-0 Run to end the quarter. Team USA's defense is outstanding.

Ellenberg hasn't found a shot she doesn't like Sloppy play by Team USA in last minute or so.
 
Cos USA are up we have some players more woried about MVP than winning the game!
 
Lead down to 18 points. Questionable travel call on Bria. USA not taking advantage of Russia's zone. Russia scoring in the paint.
 
21-PT LEAD AT END OF 3RD..............LET'S GO USA!!

Since Russia went into a zone, Sherrie got KML in the game, but so far hasn't been able to get a shot.
 
79-62 3:17 left in the game. Bria with 4 fouls and taken out of the game. KML not getting the ball against this Russia Zone.

85-67 with 1:35 to play. Huge rebounds and 3-pointer by Kaleena.

Shoni sighting. Not looking good.

We just saw why Shoni has not played! KML just hit a 3 she is wide open and Shoni trie s to make fancy forced pass inside.
 
Great Team Defense by Team USA won this game. They were able to limit the scoring by the Russian post players. Russia didn't miss close in but had a difficult time getting the ball into their post players. USA Shot the ball well. I"d give Bria MVP for this game at least.

USA Wins 90-71 Much bigger margin then what was expected. Since USA loss to this Russia team in an exhibition game, many thought Russia would win game because of their superior size and play in this tournament.
