SHOULD BE AN EASY wIN.

USA leads 36-17 end of 1st qtr.

Live Stats: FIBA Live Statistics

USA made 6 three points shots, Ramirez making 4 of them.

 

[Wbbfan1]

USA Leads 56-31 at the half. Ramirez and Cox had good 1st half. Megan Walker 0-7 shooting. Megan isn't looking like the #1 recruit in 2017 class during her USA BB play.

 

[UcMiami]

Ramirez is on fire from three through the first three games - impressive. If she keeps this up she will challenge Lou and Breanna for age limited USA teams three point shooting.

I've been a bit critical of the team play, but I think it is improving, though 13 TOs in this half with a bunch of them being just stupid is high, and giving up 8 offense rebounds when the opponent only has seven defensive rebounds is an indication of really poor boxing out.

 

[Wbbfan1]

USA leads 79-40 after 3 quarters of play.

 

[Nuyoika]

I hope Dana Evans chooses a school that plays with some pace.

 

[Nuyoika]

Uhmmm... The ref just blew the whistle before giving the player the ball....

USA wins 110 - 52. Easy Win USA had 5 player scoring in double digits. Only negative for Team USA are the TO's They had 22, many of them unforced.

Canada plays Puerto Rico 6 PM tonight and that might be an interesting game. Loser plays USA in the Semi-Finals.

You're right. Walker hasn't shot the ball well at all this tournament. Today, she missed wide open layups. Although, for some reason, I still wouldn't withdraw UConn's offer or be upset if she chose to come to Storrs.

Loving me some Lauren Cox: 14 points on 7 of 8 shooting, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks in 15 minutes of play. I can hardly wait to see her in a Baylor jersey.

Ramirez seems to be the only 3-point threat on the team. Or at least the only one with the confidence to take the shot.

She'd shoot it from the window of the team bus if they'd let her!!!

She would shoot it from the team bus whether you let her or not. Don't ask her to play any D either.

and yet she may really be the key to this US team............if she's hitting her shots the odds are they are going to win the gold...................

Megan Walker 0-7 shooting. Megan isn't looking like the #1 recruit in 2017 class during her USA BB play.

Shocking is the only way I can describe Walker's play! She is shooting 23.5 % and leading the team in shot attempts/game. In fairness to the other players she must be removed from this starting lineup.

In reality I can't wait to see her play WCBB period. She's a deserving young lady with her head seemingly on straight. I've a feeling however in Kim's system development of an outside shot will be stunted. That may prove to be a hindrance when, not if, she moves on to the WNBA. However having a hint of this young lady's character, she'll work on that anyway.

Honestly in the two games I've seen she seems to be rushing her shots and over striding toward the hoop. It looks like she wants to impress over much. Ms. Walker, just relax.

She is not squaring up to the basket on her jump shot either. Look at this photo, her uniform numbers & feet should be in alignment with the direction the ball is being launched. not pointing off to the side.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Who is this Harvard kid Boehm? Did the bigs miss out on this kid? 20 points in 16 minutes? Yikes!!

That is what happens generally when you rush your shot. Your feet aren't planted and your body isn't square. She's looking to get off when she should be looking to do other things and relax into the flow of the game. The points will then come. Hopefully Geno will get her in house. He, CD and Shea will remind her of this on a daily basis.

She did not exactly fly below the radar of the big schools because she was a 2016 McDonalds AA. I believe this is her first USA basketball team. Smart enough for Harvard and talented enough to play in McDonalds AA game- unmatched credentials?

I would have liked to have seen Tara get ahold of this young woman. She seemed a Pac-10 natural.

Tara will be just fine. She has 3 McDonalds AA coming in. I like Fingall best of the three-A Morgan tuck lite sets of skills.

On the money. Tara will do just fine. However for Boehm's sake I'd rather see her learn under the better coaching and competition of the Pac-10.
