Geno's playing the 4 Minny players plus Tina.

Kathy Auriemma sighting.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Reverse pivot, left-handed hook for Tina. Impressive!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Tina runs the floor, gets a pass from Angel, and scores.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Nice hand-off from EDD to Lindsay for a layup.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Syl with the left hand. 86-34.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Catch in for Mone.

Can they get to 100 before the end of the 3rd Q?

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Can they get to 100 before the end of the 3rd Q?

They could, but they won't. Running clock instead.

 

[MilfordHusky]

94-38 after 3. On pace to break the USA Olympic scoring record of 114.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

What a team. This is what I like about Olympic basketball: watching a team of topnotch players.

That, and all the UConn guys, too.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Five players in double figures.

Sue has 0 points, but 8 assists, 2 steals, and 1 rebound. She also has 0 turnovers.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Where's Stewie?

 

[bags27]

I know Whalen is on the team for very specific reasons, but she's sometimes hard to watch. Mostly, it's the jarring difference in how the team moves when Sue is out and she's in. She hesitates a split-second before passing (if she does decide to pass instead of penetrating a packed in defense), while Sue sees where everyone is before they actually are there--like Magic. The team seems to bog down with Whalen in.

Frankly, Mo would be better here. And she's a fantastic defender. But that wasn't politically possible, given all else that happened. And it won't affect outcome this year, and she'll be on the 2020 team and running it then or in 2024.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Sue had an assist, but EDD missed the layup. Shocker!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Catch has made 3 hustle plays in 90 seconds.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Sue scores!

 

[MilfordHusky]

The lead is 71.

 

[MilfordHusky]

There was just a great sequence: Brit contests the shot, she gets the rebound, she passes it to Sue. Good things will happen.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Senegal doesn't know what hit them. Top team in Africa.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Stewie drives the baseline and passes to EDD for a three.

Ann corrects Syracuse.

Sue hits a three. She's a scoring machine.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Within 6 points of the USA Olympic scoring record.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Angel moving without the ball.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie for 3!!! breaks the Olympic record for team USA points in a game, 117

 

[MilfordHusky]

Stewie with a corner 3 gets the U.S. to their new record of 117.
