USA Olympic Qualifying Team - DT, Phee, Stewie (merged)

Why is the U.S. playing? I thought they had already qualified for the Olympics.

USA beats Nigeria 100-46

Putback aside, Stewie seems to be in a funk.
Boston was unimpressive.
Jewel was marvelous.
Phew should be tourney MVP
Have to look as the US schedule pre-Olympics. Hope they're playing some games 'cause there's no "walk into the gym and win" this year.

Watched some -- but not, all -- and agree that Phee, supported well on the perimeter by Mr. Loyd, led the charge.
Thought Rhyne Howard and Jackie Young had some solid minutes, as well.

Like you said, it will take time to get all the parts meshed and not sure these are the final ones, with A'Ja Wilson not here and uncertainty with Chelsea Gray. Plus, will the committee/coaching staff want to bring some other folks in for a look in April?

Stay tuned.
 
FIBA has the dopiest point system for calculating standings: 2 points for a win and 1 point for a loss. Why not just tally the wins?

If you're looking at scores on FIBA's website, Kamilla Cardoso is listed as Kamilla Soares. She was definitely Brazil's best player in their opening round loss to Australia. Someone posted on another thread that Germany was the weakest team in Group A, but they beat Serbia.

If I had to guess, they (Brazilians) do this because Kamila's maternal grandfather's name was Soares, and since she's a woman, they use that as the primary last name, which is typical for Portuguese and Spanish naming conventions. Whereas her full name is Kamila Soares (maternal grandpa's name) Cardoso (paternal grandfather's name), and so in English we just treat her last last name as her last name.

Not quite sure, where to drop this in, but wasn't sure it quite merited a separate thread, even with the person in question.
In any case, Jen Rizzotti has been named head coach of U.S.A. 3x3 Olympic Team playing in Paris. Jen has had zounds of experience in this area so not a complete surprise. She'll be assisted by Tammi Reiss, HC of Rhode Island.
Will the two replicate the success of Kara Lawson who coached the Gold-Medal winning team in Tokyo?

Will be interesting to see if Katie Lou will get a chance to vie for a Gold Medal this time around. Given her recent play, she sure looks like a fave to be on the team. Who else? Would they go collegian, with Cameron Brink? Does Allisha Gray return, if she's not on the 5x5 team?

Japan just beat Canada in the early game today in Hungary(86-82).

Japan and Spain(regardless of the Spain game today, vs Hungary, are in from that group.
If Spain beats Hungary that brings Canada into the Olympics.
If Spain loses to Hungary, then Hungary qualifies and Canada is out.
