U19 USA vs Hungary 11:30 AM

[Carnac]

They did the same thing in 2019 and the final went to OT

But........this IS NOT that same team. None of the players that played in that 2019 game will play tomorrow. I remind you........................the best indication of future behavior is past behavior. No team in this tournament has come close to challenging team USA. THIS USA team beat this Aussie team 6 days ago by 40 points with nothing on the line.

This time, a gold medal is on the line. Don't you think team USA is going to give it EVERYTHING they've got? Head coach Cori Close will "unleash" her team and tell them to "Sic 'Em." This is the final game of the tournament. No reason to hold anything back. I'm doing a "Jim Fassel" on this game. I'm shoving ALL of my chips (including the farm) to the center of the table, I'm all in!!!

Pardon my French, but allow me to be blunt...................there's NO WAY in hell team USA loses tomorrow, regardless of who they play.

Australia up 31-24 at the half.

Aus leads 38-33 after 3.

inthink USA will thrash them, just stating what happened in 2019.

 

[MSGRET]

Aus leads 38-33 after 3.

16 points scored between two teams in the third quarter. I don't see either team coming close to the U.S. in tomorrow's game.

Has anyone found access to today's box score? I can't seem to find it.....

 

[Carnac]

I believe the final is at 20:30 their time. They are GMT +2.
Eastern time is GMT -4, so a total time difference of -6 hours.
Ipso facto, the finals should start at 2:30 (14:30) pm tomorrow.

Thanks rvwsleep. I never could translate GMT plus/minus time into "our" time.

Aussies win 62-50
USA vs Australia tomorrow in finals

She was the total opposite in earlier games. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Fair enough!

 

[Husky fanatic]

While we will win tomorrow I think it will be by 20 to 25. If only Mali could shoot!

 

[Plebe]

Mali had their chances. Went on a big run early in 4Q and took a 3-point lead, but Australia, despite serious foul trouble, responded with an even bigger run of their own and never looked back. In the end, Australia was able to hit some big shots but Mali just could not hit anything from outside.

Jade Melbourne and Nyadlew Puoch for Australia were the difference-makers.
Sika Kone for Mali had 15 points and 19 rebounds.

Mali lost to Australia 62-50.
Mali's offense resembled the old Tennessee offense. Throw the ball at the rim and send everyone in to rebound.
They were 6 of 36 from 3.
You're not going to win many games shooting like that against decent opposition.

FWIW.
ESPN+ Lists tomorrow's final as a 2:20 pm (Eastern) start.

Must be the rebounding Kone!

I would have rather played Mali. Australia already had their bite of the apple. It’s a good bet team Australia won’t sleep well tonight.

I'm not excusing for Amari !!. I'll have to accept your representation of her body language on the court. I have not seen the game yet.
It's possible that Amari has accepted the fact that she is on the end of the bench on this team, and only getting garbage minutes. If she's not playing with any energy, I hope that's not the reason.

It was reported that she made the final cut by default only after players in front of her opted out prior to the final roster selection. I'm going to reserve any predictions about her ability to play with her UConn teammates until at least 5-6 games into the season. That should be a large enough sample size for us to get a good look at her, and form an opinion as to how Geno might use her this season.

It is understood that she needs some work in several areas. No doubt those deficiencies will be addressed and worked on this season. I expect Amari to push ONO and be pushed everyday in practice this season. I'm looking for 19 year old sophomore Amari to return ready to play by making a BIG sophomore leap, with a stronger body, with a renewed (more resolve) mental approach. I'm looking for Amari to take over for ONO next year after she graduates.

HELLO, Interesting that the FIBA listing of positions include two for
USA CENTER = BETTS and Amari DeBerry. Did Coach Close " pencil
her in " as a center? The other " bigs" for Team USA are all under the
title of " forward". I will also be interested where Wolfenbarger ends up
playing at Arkansas; Ditto, when will Sonia Citron gets credible playing time
at N.D. ??

 

[Dillon77]

Ditto, when will Sonia Citron gets credible playing time
at N.D. ??

Coach Ivey of ND is on record as saying that Citron reminds her of Jackie Young, with her ability to do a lot of everything. Based on what I've seen, that translates into playing her at wing (the 3), which would allow her to work both in- and outside the paint.

6'3" Maddy Westbeld owns the 4 slot for ND and returning (but unplayed) 6'5" sophomore Nat Marshall and Stanford grad transfer, Maya Dodson will probably share the center role.

As for, "will she play?" hopefully early and often, just like Westbeld.

Go to FIBA women's U19
Then go to the USA team.
You should see the first screen shot. Hit the 75-42 score.
That should take you to the second screen shot.
From the second screen shot
hit "overview". That will produce a drop down list that will include
BOXSCORE.

This is the first game I watched out of the tournament and man Amari just seems like the walking dead out there geno is going to have to shake her a little bit to get some life into her.

I noticed that she and Jersey weren't playing in their natural (accustomed) positions on both ends. Amari was being drawn out on defense. Jersey plays guard, but I don't see that happening at the next level. They aren't dead. They are learning.

 

[TheFarmFan]

Betts is smart enough to go to Stanford and yet hasn't learned to keep the ball above her head and not bring it down.Resulted in at least two jump balls today

Tara will ensure she knocks that off real fast, because there will be more than enough big depth ahead of her between Brink, Prechtel, Belibi and Iriafen, if she doesn't. Tara, much like Geno, is famously quick to pull underclassmen that keep making the same stupid mistake more than once.

Citron is going to do well for ND fundamentally sound in all aspects of the game. The one thing that stands out both on defense and offense is that she is a ball magnet- meaning the balls finds her way too often for it to be a coincidence. When the ball finds her she always makes the right basketball play. Love coaching & watching kids like that because you don't have to run plays for them and at the end of the day they will always have done enough to beat you. Morgan Tuck, Kia Nurse, Kelly Faris & Sophomore Napheesa Collier where those kinds of players AKA-my favorites.

and she is very confident. ND with her, Westbeld, Mabrey, Miles and others finding their way will be alot of fun to watch (and beat )

Don't be surprised if Brunelle blossoms this season and becomes the player many thought she would be.

It shouldn’t be that difficult. That website is a horror show. If the designer was paid a euro, it was way too much.
