U18 USA vs Argentina Semi-Finals 7:30

Should be a blow out win for Team USA



Canada plays Brazil in the other Semi-Final at 5:30. Thinking that Canada wins that game.

Match ups a" big big" problem for all the other teams in the series...US " Big Bigs" to much for all the other teams" little bigs". All blowouts so far...the rest the same! Also how about UCONN Collier,What a ball player....a real standout!!!A real standout!!! Collier girl,come home to UCONN.....Is it my eyes or not...I think she is getting slimmer than she was the last two years in high school ....or is she growing a bit taller????

Canada beats Brazil 67-60, much closer game then I thought. Canada kept letting Brazil back into the game with sloppy play. Presuming USA wins it will Canada vs USA for the Gold Medal.

3-pointer for Collier

Sheesh she's good.

US up a mere 40 at the break

A'ja Wilson has 16 points, 6 boards at the half.

Collier with 8 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists. Did I mention she can do it all?

She's very good. On another topic, you posted a top 10 2015 evaluation a few days ago that had McCowan ranked 3rd in her class. Ahead of Collier, Shepard, Boykin etc.. How is that possible ? I just don't see it at all.

Keep in mind that rankings often take into consideration potential as well. Collier is fantastic, but perhaps the folks doing the ranking felt McCowan has a higher upside and more potential.

It was definitely an outlier. I haven't seen McCowan hardly at all so, I don't know. Occasionally you get an anomaly. Then again, maybe that one site will turn out to be prescient.

Collier is constantly moving on offense, trying to open herself up for layups or establish position within 15 feet where she can use her scoring or passing skills.

Perhaps, but from what I've seen, that opinion would just about force me to disqualify his entire list.

Poor Canada.
