USA Basketball 3x3

[HuskyFan1125]

Second round games are much better

UCLA and Ole Miss tied at 15 with 80 seconds to go

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Man...i hate to say this but size matters in these games

Ole Miss taking advantage of their size over Londynn Jones

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Ole Miss beats UCLA 20-17 and moves to 2-0 on the day! UCLA drops to 0-2.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

to clarify about size....

Kennedy Brown is the tallest player at 6'6 but she is mobile. Hollingshead from Tennessee is big as well but she has guards to get her the ball.

Its the guard play. When you 5'10-6'0 guards that can pass and shoot they can take smaller players to the post so easily in 3x3.

Londynn Jones from UCLA and Naveah Tot from OU. Teams had them scouted!

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Another example is Maryland. They have 4 guards. Yet Sellers is 6'2 and Masonius is 6'0 and both can battle for rebounds, handle, pass, and shoot 3's.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

THE BIG EAST!!!!

St Johns beats Maryland 21-15 outscoring them 14-2 to close the game!!!!

They couldn't miss! Unique Drake was on fire!

Creighton vs Gonzaga on deck!

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Creighton and Gonzaga in a battle.

Zags lead 12-8 with 5 minutes to go

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Gonzaga beats Creighton 21-19 on free throws!

Interestingly both Creighton and Villanova went over the foul limits in their game (7). Creighton fouled a Gonzaga player on the 7th foul and Brynna Maxwel sank both free throws to win.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Utah and Tennessee on deck!

Utah was abysmal in their 1st game. If they don't figure out their guard play Tennessee should win.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Utah has figured it out leading Tennessee 16-8 with 3 minutes to go.

I dont know why Tennessee's bigs are shooting 3's??????

 

[HuskyFan1125]

This was the MOST frustrating game to watch!!!! Utah wins 20-15.

Utah needed 2 points to win and in the last 2 minutes kept jacking up 3's (count as 2) instead of just going for 1 pt twice!!!

Tennessee bigs Hollingshead and Striplin were just shooting outside shots instead of taking the ball inside. Johnson is 6'2 and Pili might be 6'0. The Lady Vols had 6'6 and 6'3. Didn't make any sense to me!

I was ready to turn off the TV.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

On a break due to not enough teams.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Up next:

Villanova vs Colorado College.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

As expected Villanova beats Colorado College easily 21-6.

Lots of student support for the Colorado College team as the games are at their campus.

Utah and Tennessee on deck!

Utah was abysmal in their 1st game. If they don't figure out their guard play Tennessee should win.

Yeah, Utah looked horrible in that 1st game.

Gonzaga looked solid in these games. Villanova was fun to watch as well. In a few of these games, shot selection mattered. Holy smokes. I think it was the Gonzaga/Utah game. Utah struggled to make a shot.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

And we are back at it

MTSU vs Duke

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Duke beats MTSU 21-14 in a quick game!

Duke making high level shots and looking good still.

Seton Hall vs winless Indiana next

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Indiana just looks out of sorts.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Scalia comes out hot and Indiana has tied it

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Sydney Parrish looks at the referee every time she shoots asking for a foul.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Seton Hall Beats Indiana 21-17 to move to 3-0. Indiana drops to 0-3
