All Tied at 27-27 at the Half.
USA had a 24-16 lead and with their poor play, no rebounding, fouling allowed Canada to tie the game. I know I'm being critical, but they are playing another team of 16 year olds. Canada's length seems to be bothering USA and if they don't improve their play they could lose
Go USA
. Played great defense. Samuelson 6 -6 on 3 point shots. Cox with 9 blocks. Both are records.Cox can do it all, nice drive
Durr picked up the MVP award. She's gonna be one to follow.USA already scored 27 points in the 3rd Qtr. Playing great defense & Asia Durr took over the game at the start of the 3rd qtr.
ochoopsfan I've been surprised that Brazil can put together such a strong national team, yet not so much at the younger ages. Do you have any insights? Is it simply that USA starts earlier, so has a head start at younger ages?
Sorry missed your response yesterday. No insights for Brazil, however, I have to believe WBB is third behind Soccer and VBall down in Rio land. Not sure why the older teams get better with not so strong U16 teams, perhaps structure and coaching levels in Brazil are not that strong at young ages and/or more girls who are playing other sports turn to WBB because they cant qualify to make National teams in Soc and VBall.
