USA scrimmaging Canada in Bridgeport today

[UConnCat]

and Altavilla, Adamec, Elliott, Doug Feinberg and Fuller are there.

Sounds like scrimmage is about to get underway. Sue, Tina and Maya starting for USA.

The players from the WNBA finals who will be vying for spots on roster will meet the team in Paris. That's not to say all of those players will be in Paris

Here's a video interview of Canada's coach on Kia Nurse:

Hey @KayNurse11 just scored on Skylar Diggins, #UConnwomen fans @usabasketball

 

[UConnCat]

Doug Feinberg @DougFeinberg · 19s
McBride misses the first one; US gets a rebound and can't get another shot off because of pressure D by Canada; which wins the quarter 20-17

 

[RadyLady]

Rats! I don't know all these twitter handles of the players except the obvious ones...

Cat, are you following a hashtag?

Jim Fuller @NHRJimFuller · 43s
Former #UConn star Maya Moore looks like the best player on the floor in U.S./Canada scrimmage because that is what she is

 

[UConnCat]

Cat, are you following a hashtag?

No just following the reporters I know are at the scrimmage.

US wins fourth quarter 22-13; wins 3 of the 4 quarters.

 

[UConnCat]

So, scrimmage done. First round of cuts will likely occur in advance of game tomorrow night.

Looks like the @usabasketball team is going to make five cuts before Monday's game with Canada to get down to 12 #uconnwomen

John Altavilla @jaltavilla · 1m
Hard to say whether Stefanie Dolson or Bria Hartley will make it, but it seems like Breanna Stewart will @usabasketball

John Altavilla @jaltavilla · 16s
Geno Auriemma says @usabasketball still try to gauge how the health of Griner, Delle Donne and Fowles will ultimately play out

“Playing against coach [Auriemma] before having the chance to play for him actually kind of makes me laugh.” @KayNurse11 #UConnwomen

There will be times when she'll laugh while playing for Geno, and times she won't be laughing much . . .

I sort of expected Bria not to make the cut early on and Stef as well, but I am thinking that they will keep Stef for a more evaluation especially with the status of Griner's eye - although she may be good to go soon - and Fowles...I know she had a tough summer, but I don't know that she sustained further injury in the WNBA tourney.

any feedback on who played well in the scrimmage? especially among those not considered a lock for the squad?

Hope to see a boxscore. Kudos to whomever can produce one!

Comment seems a little harsh.
Let her exalt in this amazing coincidence and experience.

I seemed to me the USA basketball site was the most likely place to find a boxscore, if one existed. No joy. The site, though, was shockingly easy to find.
