Message: [QUOTE="Zarathustra, post: 5029796, member: 11285"] Gena might say to stay focused on the next game: today vs Puerto Rico, 1-0. But not being Geno, I am going to "the tale of the tape (measure)", but in this case USA vs Canada in a comparison of height. For Canada: Yeich 5' 11", Basco 5' 6", Tumbe 6' 0", Leung 5' 9", Nwaobi 6' 1' (seven rebounds, 5 points), Bassetti 6' 1", Henderson 5' 11", Sussex and Morgan = both no heights found, zero and two points respectively. For the USA: a "brace" of towers: Betts 6' 4", Roberson 6'4", and a quartet at 6' 2, Sarah, Edwards, M. Francis, L. Macy. Then we have Davidson and Smith at 6'1" and rounding off the "6 foot and over" crew with 6'0" J. Lee. Heckel is 5' 9", Z. Johnson is 5 '11", and Alivia Mc Gill is 5' 8". So, the tallest players for Canada (2) top off at 6'1". The USA has six players taller, and two of the same height: 6'1". This should be the final/championship game as the USA and Canada are in different pools/pods. If height matters .... then .... I just wait to see! By the way, previously Shea Ralph was reported as one of H.C. Teri Moren's assistants. On the courtside (and on the FIBA web page) I saw Niele Ivey, N.D., and Jose Ferandez, University of South Florida. Maybe Coach Ralph was on the selection committee? [/QUOTE]
