USA Wins 74-70 in OT Wins the U19 Gold Medal.

The Unsportsmanship Foul was a huge call. Without that call USA probably loses the game in Regulation.

Don't like that Temery ended the thread with 3 minutes left in OT. That was uncalled for during the Off Season.

I didn't know the game only had a few minutes, and sorry, but I don't care.

Game threads are too difficult to moderate, too difficult to follow, the constant reloading of the page causes problems, and they're stupid.

I fully understand some new users don't under this, but none of those in this thread are new users, including you.

Please use the chat.

Paige and Rhyne Howard makes the All Star Five. Two USA players make the Top 5.

Paige Wins the MVP Award. Richly Deserved.

 

[lebronfan23]

Why wouldn’t recruits want to play with a player like Paige?

 

[Kaizen]

Paige 17 pts, 8 rebs, 5 asts, 1 blk. MVP.

Paige. Start making more room on your bookshelf.

Yay! Can’t wait for Paige to get to UCONN.
Fantastic gal in all ways!

I wonder if she'll play that watch trick on Geno?

I think my post go deleted before for some reason, but I'll ask again- is there any way to read old chats for games? (i.e., the mid-game color commentary of Boneyard users.) Thanks!

Yes. I'll look into it before the season begins.

The END:



She's going to be so much fun.

Whoever the Australia team's coach is, he/she is sensational! The Aussies played like a Coach Geno team! Very, very impressed. For most of the game, it appeared that Walz was outcoached.

USA Gets FIBA U19 Gold Medal In OT fashion - Bluestar Media

BANGKOK, Thailand – Nail biter game, yes. Another win – this time in OT, yes. Another FIBA World Cup gold medal and yes it was “street ball” brutal to get to the podium at the Thai-Japan Arena. The USA Junior National Team won its second matchup of the FIBA U19s against Australia getting a huge […]

Shooting was poor on most teams and too many teams were relying on physical play to get points. Disappointing that some College coaches wouldn't let their players participate. It would be interesting to know which players turn down the opportunity to play.

IMO, Waltz's coaching can be questionable sometimes. If Belgium and Australia were coached by Geno (With all due respect to these teams's respective coaches), the USA would of lost both games.

Maybe so (or maybe they just have more time together than the US team?) but got to give props to Walz for the out of bounds alley oop play from Paige to Hailey to tie in end of regulation.

Listening to both in the miked up time outs, I thought both sides were coaching at a high level. Much more than the average coach speak.

 

[Dokey]

Since there are many ways and times to watch games I never look at Boneyard until I do.

 

[Dokey]

I understand UConn has no interest in her, heavy at her position I guess and everyone wants a big, but Caitlin Clark is going to be a force in college. A smart major will grab her, no matter their roster.

 

[Triad]

Yes. I'll look into it before the season begins.

No need to rush---The post season has ended and the preseason hasn't begun. Take your time. Relax, enjoy the views; lots of videos to watch, enjoy!! life is too long

I enjoy the NEW words I learn on the Chat--I never knew there were so many ways to insult your friends and fellow fans--go figure, is that really your idea of FUN????

Do we need an intervention?

With rare exception I think that's his default setting. The team sure didn't look like it was well coached.

This was a pretty competitive U19 pool. Australia, Belgium, and Spain all had some serious talent -- even Germany did.

I didn't watch the game, but I did watch the highlight film (10:00 long, so it covered a god chunk of the game), and it wasn't impressive play by the USA by any means. Looking back at the pool of players, I was a little shocked at some of the players Brink made it over. I have a hard time believing Liz Dixon, Elissa Cunane, Shakira Austin, Maori Davenport, etc. would not have had bigger impacts than Brink -- no knock on Brink, those players are just older, stronger, and more experienced.

Of course, they were missing some really, really quality players: Fudd, Horston, Williams, Nelson-Ododa, Prince, etc.

I think there is a possibility a second team could have been created and maybe have even given the gold-medal squad a run for their money, especially if the second team was coached by Geno

Well, onto U17 and U18 next year! U18 championship game could be competitive depending on who Canada brings.
