Nice start by Moriah and Morgan. Stewie is now in.

Tucker down with what looks like a knee injury. Hope it's not serious.

Score 9-2 US, looks like 4:30 left in first q? I hope Tucker;s injury isn't bad - sh walked off, but with help and not putting much weight on left leg./

 

[flatcoatmom]

Apparently both Breanna and Brenda are playing - twins, perhaps?

Jannah Tucker left the game with an injury. Hope its not serious

18-6 USA Leads after the 1st quarter.

Beginning to wonder if Breanna is as good of a shooter as EDD is. Great form on her 3 point shots.

Started watching the game as soon as Tucker was down...anyone care to share what happened? I only saw a brief replay.

Hard to see what happened. She was driving the ball in to the lane and seemed to pull up. I'm not sure if she came to a jump-stop or what happened, but she immediately grabbed for what looked like her left knee.

I just saw the replay too - looked like she was in midair and knew her left knee was hurt before she landed on it - couldn't tell if she got hit or just did something herself -

Both Breanna and Brenda are pretty good.

Thanks guys...I appreciate it.

:-O I will hope its nothing serious -- jump-stop knee injuries scare me

Almost sounds like they are fighting with each other about whose pronunciation is right - of course I speak no Spanish, so who knows?

Can't tell if she's on the bench or back in the locker room - and now the feed has disappeared.

USA outscores Argentina 17-4 in 2nd quarter and lead 35-10 @ the half.

its nice to see some basketball from future college players, nice preview. Too bad the competition is atrociously bad... all they do to defend is clog up the paint and foul to try and stop the USA team.

Morgan is really a surprise to me, she is the new bruiser in the big east. She seems to have a wonderful tenacity and leadership instilled in her. A natural leader.

Stewart is making these international kids look so bad...amazing 3 ball player, which frightens me since she will mostly be guarded by Destiny Williams(slower, scoring threat, senior defender) or Brooklyn Pope (faster/leaper/not a such a scoring threat, senior) in the baylor games. I guess the only thing that reassures me is the fact that our team is mostly seniors(BG, Hayden, Williams, Madden, Pope) and a junior (Sims) and Prince (freshman) who will be playing allot of minutes.

it's really difficult to gauge how well the fresh man are going to be, when they play against high school or poor basketball skills teams.

But Tuck, Stewart, Jefferson look good.

as well as our girl, Prince.

i love the announcers, I'm puerto rican and appreciate their commentary.

Have they provided any status on Tucker?

Nice start by Moriah and Morgan. Stewie is now in.

I think I recall her in an interview frowning at that nickname.

Anyway to get this in English? The tab on the upper right doesn't seem to work.

For the most part, I agree. But Tuck and certainly Stewart have played with terrific college players (E. Williams, Hartley, Dolson) and in Stewarts case, was probably the best player.

I think we all know how she will do in college.

I do too...no Stewie!
