USA Basketball 2026 World Cup qualifying team

The sports errata addiction makes a showing. Always been too lazy to acquire it. Always impressive.

Hopefully with Coach Lawson, the team can score more than 50pts a game.

They did, in fact, score more than twice that in their romp over Senegal today.
Rhynne Howard and Caitlin Clark were particularly impressive today (but, in fairness, the talent, even sans Stewie, Aja and Pheesa, is extraordinary). Caitlin played a very good game on offense shooting efficiently and handing out about a dozen assists (& very few turnovers), and Rhynne's shot was really on today.
I was a bit pissed (showing my bias) that it took til the 3rd "line shift" for Paige to be subbed into the game, but she eventually got about 14 minutes I think mostly playing as a shooting guard with either Chelsea or Caitlin at the point. I think that she and Caitlin will be quite effective on the court together as the games progress. I think that Paige scored 9 (a little uner 50% from the field), had some good assists (only 1 turnover when she got blitzed), rebounds and some terrific man-to-man defense (including a great steal on an inbounds play).

The Bueckers-Clark combo is going to be a tremendous problem for opponents going forward.
Also, I'm not a Tennessee fan, but I always liked Rae Burrell's athleticism and felt bad for her injuries and am now so happy for her being healthy and able to really blossom.

Rae had a pretty good season in the W and a very good season in Unrivaled. She exceeded my expectations.

Based on this quote, it sounds like the line ups are going to vary game to game. That's the advantage the US has since they don't have to qualify. It's going to be fun to see what Coach Lawson has planned thoroughout the tournament.
