World University Games on ESPNU

USA beat China 90-75. Balanced scoring from Erica McCall, Courtney Williams, and Mercedes Russell. Guard play was a bit better.

Not sure why Lexie Brown didn't make this team? Jordin Canada who was fantastic in the WNIT finals is playing out of control a lot. She goes to fast and is making errant passes,

Williams does her usual midrange pull up. Of note, the 10 minute quarters make the game move a bit faster to me.

Will be interesting to see what it looks like in the college game.

Sydney Weise was impressive and probably should be a starter in the back court.

If the USA senior team had 33 TOs and 13 assists, we would have lost--badly--to Spain in the FIBA finals. Fortunately, we had Sue, Dee, Maya, Lindsay, Geno, et al.
 
Is the next game on ESPNU as well? I went searching but all I found were mens games.

Rebecca was a great 3 point shooter in HS and prior to her injuries. Not so now, shoots 35%. She is the best that Duke has at 3 point shooting. She's not the player she was prior to her injuries.

basketball eye>stats .. ESPECIALLY in this case
 
USA 92 Czech Rep 54

Russell 18pts/12rebs
Jones 13pts/13rebs
Williams 12pts/8rebs
Powers 17pts/7rebs
McCall 15pts.8rebs
Wiese 9pts

Russell was the only one without a turnover. :cool:

This was supposed to be the toughest matchup yet but they blew them out of the water from the start. Shot 14 of 15 in the 1st quarter for a 30-15 lead (was 30-9 before two late threes).
 
Sounds like they're improving. They killed that team on the boards. A/TO still less than 1, but not completely hopeless. Good for them. 'Murica. :D

Nice. :D
 
Appears DD is injured - she supposedly had a foot/ankle problem coming into the games, played sparingly in the first game and hasn't played since. Canada's minutes dropped in this last game from 27 to 18.
 
Will any other games be televised? They really should promote these better.

The semis and finals. I don't have the dates handy, but they were in an earlier thread. The weekend, I think.

I didn't think the WUG were well promoted in general, there is other coverage of various events, mostly on the internet, although the Longhorn Network has some sport specific stuff and the "U" has men's basketball.
 
USA vs Hungary, Women's quarterfinals, will be televised Thursday, July 9th, at 5:00am EDT on ESPNU.

Apparently, and most of us fans are just hearing this now, Diamond had surgery last summer for a bone injury in her leg (details of injury a bit vague) that she played with almost the entire year and UNC. She had an extensive rehab and was completely shut down for months following the surgery. When tryouts came around she had been practicing since January and wasn't having any issues but during training camp and in Korea it appears the leg is taking its time to acclimate to physical activity. She is fine but they are easing her back and they are being cautious not to rush it.

This must have just been added? I says it's only covering the semis and finals.

ESPN has it listed on their upcoming schedule. However, since I posted this, USAB changed the start time for USA vs Hungary to 7:30 am EDT, so I don't know what is happening. I can't imagine ESPN would air Canada vs Czech Republic at 5:00 am and not show the USA game.
 
Has any game been shown on television this morning?
 
I just checked ESPN and they have now listed USA vs Hungary, Women's quarterfinals, will be televised Thursday, July 9th, at 7:30am EDT on ESPNU. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope they actually show it.:rolleyes:
 
ESPN 3 has one quarter final game listed as a 5 am start and another quarter final game as a 7:30 start but they don't specify the teams involved.
On the USAB site, the USA is scheduled for the 7:30 am time slot. The 5:00 am slot has the Canada game.
 
I'll make sure to hit the DVR.
 
Brenda Freese tweeted the USA Game is on ESPNU at 7:30 AM
