"The top three finishing teams from each first-round group will advance to the second round, held July 22-24. The 12 nations qualifying for the second round will be divided into Groups E and F. Each team will play the three new teams in its new group, with all results of games played in the preliminary round carrying over to determine the second-round standings."

That's a whole lot of games. I did not realize these kids could be playing close to 10 games... How many are played in the 1st round? It's a good thing they minutes have been so spaced out and the team is so deep. Side note - Turner and Wilson are just terrific. No idea why UCONN stopped recruiting Turner, but she's going to be special in college.

On Turner - probably because the coaching staff got the feeling she wasn't really interested - it takes two to tango, and the team drops players pretty quickly when they don't get a good sense of possible success.

In that photo...it is hard to tell whether we are playing the Chinese women's team or the Chinese men's team
