U19 Gold Medal Game - Russia vs USA - 4/30

[HuskyFan1125]

60-60 with 20 seconds in 3rd

 

[SCspur]

Joyner Holmes has missed at least 10 wide open layups

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Are Vadeeva or Musina considering US education?? They are talented.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Don't know how many layups USA has missed but Holmes has missed 3.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

45 of Russia's 62 points by two players. You think Coach Geno would have found a way to shut them down?

Megan Walker on the bench?

 

[Carnac]

USA's low post players have 6 points. Russia low post players of Musina and Vadeeza have 41.

They also have 20 Rebounds and USA's trio of low post players have 14

And there lays the rub!!! As I said, it's 5 on 2 , and they're winning the battle.

 

[Geew1992]

Holmes couldn't hit the back side of a barn right now

 

[Geew1992]

Joyner Holmes has just two points? Seriously? That's a great job by the Russians of holding America's best player in check.

Americans best player?? And she's missed 4 point blank layups. Russia hasn't had to do anything.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Russia leads 62-60 end of 3 quarters. Minimum USA should be up 2-5 points.
USA was unable to draw the 4th foul on Vadeeza and she was able to do anything she wanted on both ends of the court.
USA low post players are not posting up in the low post to get the 4th foul. Not sure if would work, when they have, they've missed layups.

Game as its being played favors Russia to win. USA has to stop Russia's low post players Russia is getting easy baskets.

GO USA.

 

[Carnac]

I thought Holmes was suppose to be on OUR side.

These Russian girls are shooting the lights out.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Another layup missed by Holmes and Crystal loses assist opportunity.
Holmes is 1-7 shooting most of her misses have been layups.

Hopefully I'll have good things to say about her shortly.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Very big players and lots of great movement from the Russians. They're playing well, while the Americans look lost. Crystal is just dumping to Holmes, which should be automatic. Crystal's doing her job.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Put Holmes on the bench!!

Crystal should have 4-5 more assists

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Who is #14 for US?

 

[bizarro aj]

Dangerfield should have a double double with the great passes she's making right under the basket.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

So what was the YouTube thing about? Lights out now.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Sutton keeping them in the game single-handedly?

 

[Wbbfan1]

USA leads 71-70 with 5:23 left in the Game.

 

[Carnac]

The Russian coach reminds me of Kim Mulkey. He cries and whines to the refs on EVERY play.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

I meant Carter.

 

[dtbtbtb]

Those Russian posts are impressive! What's up with those point blank misses by Holms?

 

[Wbbfan1]

Definitely don't call moving screens.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

The Russains are really aggressive on the boards. Making US look bad.

 

[Carnac]

The momentum has swung to the Russians. They're getting easy baskets. USA has to fight for every basket.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Why is Alarie in there?
