Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2279191, member: 5798"] [B]You capsulized this game in a nutshell.[/B] These two players hurt the USA more than their other 3 teammates combined. I mentioned in a post yesterday that the USA could not allow these two to have a game similar to the one they had against Canada. WE didn't have any post players that could effectively stop or counter them. In an earlier post you said: "[I]Russia's low post players are taking USA's low post player to school on [U]both[/U] ends of the court"[/I]. Game, set, match. It became painfully obvious that we were severely outmatched in the front court. They had no trouble hitting their 5-7 foot mid-range shots. Each one of the players for the USA team will take this experience forward to their next FIBA tournament when ever and where ever that may be. They'll know exactly what it's going to take to beat other FIBA international teams teams, especially the Russians. Three cheers for our team, they fought down to the buzzer. They never quit. [B]I'm proud of our girls.[/B] This was an experience they'll never forget. That said, I watched every game, and enjoyed them all. Now we can turn our attention back to UConn, and their impending Italian road trip exhibitions. :) [/QUOTE]
