Yes, keep it up please.!!!!!
 
The FIBA live score lists A'ja Wilson as a center, while Stewart and Tuck are listed as small forwards. Wonder what she thinks of that. :D

And really, she has been a tremendous rebounder - averaging close to a double double for the tournament so far.
 
USA Leads 63 - 57 Five minutes left in the game USA with 3 team fouls to zero for France. Based on the play by play France getting most of the rebounds.
 
USA with 5 Team Fouls with 4 minutes left in Game France only 1. France shoots 2 free throws on every foul for rest of game.
 
USA leads 65-61 Two Minutes left in game. It may come down to free throws if USA fouls France
 
USA 65 France 63 One Minute left
 
Jones hits a Big 3 Point shot USA leds 68-63 28 Seconds left. Besides making the Big Shot, she followed up with Blocking a 3 point shot attempt with 21 seconds left.

Big?! I'll say.
 
That's a close game suddenly considering how much they've been beating everyone else by so far.
 
Moriah (5), Morgan (16), Stewart (22) did score 43 of Team USA's 69 points. Jones and Harper had bad shooting days 5-21. However Jones did have the basket that sealed the game. A three with 28 seconds left and did block a 3 point attempt with 21 seconds left.

Kelsey Plum, Gabby Green and Candice Agee did not play in the game. Brianna Turner played 12:35 minutes and only had a rebound and a steal for her stats. She missed her one shot attempt.
 
Interesting decisions by Meier. She played a mostly ineffective Turner for several minutes in the 4th qtr with both Graves and Wilson -- who, based on stats, were much more active and effective -- on the bench.

Tough game. Huge 3 by Jones at the end.
 
Spain did beat Brazil so they like Team USA are undefeated going into the Medal Rounds.

USA Plays Japan & Australia plays China on the USA side of the Bracket.
Spain plays Canada & France plays Brazil on the Spain side of the bracket.

It looks like USA vs Australia to get to the Gold Medal game and France vs Spain on the other side of the bracket. Brackets - Link Hope I'm right :)
 
Frontcourt players 20-42, backcourt 7-26, in spite of jones 3 at end they almost shot the USA team out of the game. They need to do better the rest of the way, I would expect that Breanna, and Morgan will be double, and triple teamed until the guards show they can shoot better.

Anyone know if any of these foreign under 19 player are looking for American universities to play at? Geno did have good luck with a certain Russian player ;)

Not a slur on Meier, but gotta wonder what the score would have been with a much more experienced coach, say Geno for example.

Well, Geno coached the U19 team in 2001 and that team was 6-1 and won the bronze medal. Geno was probably the same age as Meier is now and he has learned a lot since then.
 
Apparently Spain is a hotbed for College Coaches this year. Countries like Australia and France have academy's the best players go to. Many other countries young players are signed by pro teams with development contracts. He did say with the worsening European Economy more players are looking to the US for scholarships. Don't see many Russian players coming to the US to play. I think Svet was so independent minded that she balked at what the Russian Federation wanted and came to play for Geno.
