U18 Game Today 1:15 USA vs Dominican Repbulic

[VAMike23]

MoJeff with 4 pts on two layups so far..... still no sign of Bre

 

[UcMiami]

So is Stewie injured? Odd that she didn't start and hasn't been put in the game yet.

Wondering the same - she is the only player with warm-up still on. Wonder if she is ill as she seems to be moving OK

 

[UConnCat]

Bre is on the bench in uniform but I'm getting the sense she won't be playing today.

 

[VAMike23]

US can't buy a jumper - missed on all five 3-pt attempts

13-13

Still no Stewie

 

[THC]

Stewart was the only player not to get in the game the first quarter.

What number is Moriah? Is she # 4?

 

[Wbbfan1]

15-13 USA leads after 1st quarter. Game is definitely much closer then I thought it would be. USA is shooting less then 30%. Have to think Team USA will start to shoot better.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Yes, Moriah is #4. Box Score Link

What number is Moriah? Is she # 4?

 

[VAMike23]

Now I see the video stream is in the "main" box up top

Yes, Moriah is #4. Box Score Link

Thanks - she's tiny! Even when she isn't next to Breanna!

 

[VAMike23]

ummm, MoJeff is fast ....

 

[VAMike23]

Things opening up for the US - some better ball movement on our end and disrupting them on the other end; Morgan with 6 pt now

27-13

US on a 14-0 run

 

[flatcoatmom]

ummm, MoJeff is fast ....

Really fast! She's everywhere at once!

Tuck and Graves working well on the inside. Tuck leading scorer with 8. 27-13

 

[VAMike23]

Watched Morgan on the last play, she didn't box out very aggressively and a smaller Dominican player got in front of her - but they're in a zone so it's tougher to pick out a body

 

[VAMike23]

DR hasn't scored in..... forever!

Tuck and Graves working well on the inside. Tuck leading scorer with 8. 27-13

I'm really looking forward to seeing Tuck play. I know what we are getting with Bree and Mo, but Morgan seems like such an Ashja player - does whatever is needed, and does it very well, but nothing is flashy. I still recall seeing her pretty much shut down Bree in the McD AA game. what a trio!!!

 

[VAMike23]

Good God, it was 13-13 and now it's 45-13

Morgan has a really nice free throw shot, no wasted motion, 7 for 7, 13 points total.

I was thinking the same thing. And yes - she reminds me of Asjha - just a calm player with a lot of game. That was some quarter - USA shut them out until the last two possessions when the defense just fell asleep and allowed two uncontested lay-ups.

 

[Wbbfan1]

46-17 @ the Half. USA scored 31 points in the 2nd quarter Dom Rep. scored 4

Morgan has played the most minutes and Breanna still hasn't gotten into the game.

Morgan looking like she's at another level...and I liked what I saw of MoJeff's defense...

MoJeff with a sweet pass inside to Tuck for another bucket as we open the 3rd...
