U19 Recap, boxscore

"Behind game-highs of 23 points and eight rebounds from Breanna Stewart (Connecticut / North Syracuse, N.Y.), the 2013 USA U19 World Championship Team (8-0) knocked off a strong Australia (6-2) team in the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship semifinal contest on Saturday night in Klaipeda, Lithuania."

Stewart, huh? I hadn't heard of her. But Moriah's focus is reminiscent of my border collie's stare.

We, also, now can see the secret to Moriah's quickness. She floats over the floor and hence no friction to slow her down.

Hmm. I thought those shoes were only allowed in air hockey.

In the game thread folks were complaining about the USA foul calls - I think it is one of the issues with transition to international play - they call lots of fouls for reach-ins and hand checks but let lots of body contact go. I did think a number of the USA players were using their hands too much.

On another note - she has a great great game, but she sure can look goofy sometimes. Exhibit #1: (Just love the feet and knees.)

And yes - she looks like she has been doing some serious weight work on the arms and shoulders.

Her teammates will tell you she IS goofy

Goofy was indeed the tallest and had the greatest reach of the regular Disney characters.
