USA-Opals!

[ladybears4eva]

they're defense in the paint is horrible, i can't help but think this game reminds me of How my lady bears dominated other great teams, ....

6'8" is for real.

Aus in 8/11 on non-Cambage two-pointers. That's what has gotta change.

 

[ladybears4eva]

Man we needed Griner to have a block party in the paint for the US.

 

[sarals24]

The US could use some Griner shot blocking right about now...

(And come on, ladybears...THEIR, not THEY'RE! Gotta represent Texas education...)

It will be interesting to see what Geno comes up with for Cambage...we might be getting a preview of UConn-Baylor...

Unless he can bring in Breanna Stewart, I don't know if what he does here will be applicable...

Was surprised Fowles didn't play a bit more. She's not as tall as Cambage, but she could do a better job putting a body on Cambage than Parker, certainly.

 

[ladybears4eva]

this game reminds me of how dominant BG was in scoring in the paint, once she had the ball it was going in.

US needs to implore the Texas A&M defense and front cambage, while a guard helps by doubling and stealing the ball. TAMU hurt us that year by shooting well and removing BGs scoring ability by harrassing the ball every time she touched it.

Unfortunately, the US was doubling LJ during this half, and kept losing Cambage.

Who do you want to have the ball, Cambage or LJ?

Its a dilemma the US has to solve.

If France could figure it out, the US sure as hell should be able to.

She has 2 fouls.

i think with Fowles recoering from her knee problem, or whastever ailed her, and the foul situation we couldn't really guard Cambage and LJ at the same time.

I think defense will get better the next half, but i am worried if we are able to get better shots and passes, and not lose the ball so much.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Yes! Dee fouled shooting a 3 - let's hope she makes the free throw!

 

[alexrgct]

Ugh. Great shot by D, but gotta hit the FT!

 

[flatcoatmom]

Misses the free throw - 47-46 Aus. Tina forces a TO -

Haven't figured that one out either...

 

[Wbbfan1]

DT should not have reacted the way she did, could have been called for a foul. She kicked out with her foot.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Got a TO from Aus, but then threw it away at the other end.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Yes! Cambage misses 2 free throws - then D hits a 3! US up by 3, then called for a foul so she has 3.

 

[ladybears4eva]

tina finnaly came to play... but she will tire from all the work she is doing.. .she needs some help dealing with Cambage... way to go Tina!

 

[flatcoatmom]

US had 3 looks - missed all 3. Maya, then Tina, then Tamika.

 

[flatcoatmom]

No offensive rebounds by US -

 

[Vowelguy]

Australia can cold and US defense has picked up.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Another 2 inside misses by CP - it didn't hurt in earlier games, but it's killing us now.

 

[OneTrickPony]

getting some rebounds...signs of life...

 

[Vowelguy]

Ack, these jump shots.
