US vs Senegal starts NOW

[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.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Who's the coach next to Geno who's not Doug Bruno?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Block by Stewie.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

Block by Stewie.

I missed it!

121-56 final

121- 56 final

 

[Samanthabrown3]

That's the ball game, folks. Thanks for watching it with me!

 

[MilfordHusky]

U.S.A. record for scoring and MOV. Nicely done.

Seven players in double figures, everyone with at least 4.

Spain tomorrow, but without Sancho Lyttle.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Leading scorers: Diana, Sylvia, Stewie, each with 15. Brit had 14. EDD and Angel had 11. Tina scored 10.

 

[Orangutan]

6 assists for EDD. Playing on an all-star team really suits her.

Gets to show off a different side of her game when not under pressure to score 20+ herself.

 

[alexrgct]

Seven of the last eight WCBB NCs represented: 2009 and 1010, 2012, 2013-16. If Parker were on, it'd be nine of 10 and 13 of 17.

 

[ThisJustIn]

But that wasn't politically possible, given all else that happened. .

So, you're saying Mo, with no professional experience, should have been invited before Sloot and Sims but wasn't because of politics?

 

[ThisJustIn]

Who's the coach next to Geno who's not Doug Bruno?

Dawn or Cheryl? Or, maybe USA's Carol Callan?

 

[sarals24]

Stewie definitely looks like she belongs out there. If I didn't know anything about this team I wouldn't guess she was the youngest and least experienced.

Agreed. From what I've seen of the national team this summer, EDD has looked very good. We know she can score, but her non-offensive game has really impressed. She has hustled, played good help D, and is a legitimate threat as a shot blocker. She seems to be a good team player, looking to pass when she can.

 

[cbraarj]

Some UConn players have them while they're at UConn, they just have to cover them up. Saniya, Gabulous, Stef all have/had them.

Kennitra

Yeah, but only Gabby has/had a really visible one, absent the kinesiotape.

Kennitra Johnson or KJ had one on the arm.Was on 2000 NC team.

 

[Carnac]

U.S.A. record for scoring and MOV. Nicely done.

Seven players in double figures, everyone with at least 4.

Spain tomorrow, but without Sancho Lyttle.

Agreed. Spain will give the USA team a much more competitive game than Senegal. Senegal did the best they could, they were simply over matched.

Team USA is expected to beat Spain, but the MOV will be much closer. Spain just may be the most competitive game the US will play in this tournment. Spain's over all talent level is very high.

 

[sarals24]

I think you mean five UConn products...

 

[MilfordHusky]

How good is this team? All 12 players may be in Springfield in the future.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Agreed. Spain will give the USA team a much more competitive game than Senegal. Senegal did the best they could, they were simply over matched.

Team USA is expected to beat Spain, but the MOV will be much closer. Spain just may be the most competitive game the US will play in this tournment. Spain's over all talent level is very high.

I wonder if the young woman who endured a year at Duke made the Spanish team. I'm blanking: Angela . . .

 

[RockyMTblue2]

She is lean and energized, clearly.

It's legacy time. DT gets it.
