One thing i've noticed is that Croatia seems to be having some success in getting the 3 point shot off. Obviously it's nit picking, but I wonder if they will work on getting thru screens better and extending the defense a bit to stay in front of the player shooting. as i say that, great smooth drive by Angel to the basket. and a steal by her too. I noticed several players have been able to drive right to the hoop. swiss cheese defense by Croatia...

At least it wasn't a botched dunk...but maybe a botched layup is worse.Oh, Maya......

Is it unpatriotic that I enjoyed the announcing of this game so much more than when our USA announcers call the game? We would be so annoyed by the mispronouncing of the players name, but when it is foreign announcers, it is cute. At least we knew who scored, who fouled and who came in and out of the game - even if we otherwise had no clue what they were saying!!!

There are games when Maya is 'feeling it' and hits those fairly well, but when it's a game like this, you're in for a few, then out, I think she should look for gaps more and just take more bread & butter shots.
Angel seems to be putting up an awful lot of shots as well, but that coast to coast layup was pretty sweet....

The blonde announcer is also much more attractive.

That's Angel...shot selection is not her forte...
The defense the Croats were running...collapsing three people into the box...wasn't rewarding the NBA-style acrobatic drives. I'm sure the extra contact allowed was a contributor. If the men's team doesn't realize that we may have some awfully tight games.

OTP, how long have you followed SMU basketball? In the 80s there was a player named Scotti Wood, who played for Rivercrest High School in east Texas, who was the PG for SMU. She lead my high school to a state championship and is now a coach in Texas.
That was "Sumbich" from the Tennessee announcer.

I'm ashamed to say very sparsely if at all.
When I was an undergraduate in the early '70's we didn't have any women's teams...there was a women's swim club...that was it.
We did have Gene Phillips on our basketball team, however. He scored 33 points per game his senior year and was number two in the nation behind a mop-haired kid from LSU who was averaging 44 with no 3-point line.
