Japan leads Australia 31-28 at the half. 2nd half just starting :

Would be a huge upset if Japan were to win. Live Stats Japan/Australia FIBA Live Statistics

Canada beating Korea by 9 points with approx 5 minutes left to half.

Japan wins 66-61. Huge Upset in 1st game of the tournament. Australia 1-20 on 3 point shots. Can't win tournament shooting like that.

Canada destroying Korea 63-28 late in 3rd quarter.

Surprised the attendance isn't better as tickets are free for the early games.

Is there a link that gives the ranking (seedings) of the teams and gives some background to get a better feel for the tournament teams? I don't see anything on the FIBA sites. Thanks

USA is the favorite to win this tournament, closely followed by Australia based on their Gold Medal in last years U17 World Championships.

FIBA Girls Rankings: NIKE FIBA World Ranking, girls - FIBA.basketball
FIBA Women's Rankings: NIKE FIBA World Ranking, women - FIBA.basketball

If you scroll down the pages you'll see how the Rankings are determined. Basically two Olympic Cycles.

Russia must be ranked #3 because of their prior record in tournaments. They've done nothing in the World Championships. They weren't in last years U17 World Championships. They are in this years U19 Tournament.

I like that Crystal is starting. And Chennedy Carter is a baller!

Walker with a nice looking 3. She had made some nifty moves around basket but didn't make the shot.

USA leads 23-14 end of 1st qtr.

Joyner Holmes leads in scoring with 9 points. Crystal has 5 Pts and Megan Walker has 3 on a made 3 point shot.

Have to say I'm not impressed with Team USA's low post defense. Will have to get better to win tournament. Don't know if Hebard would make a significant difference is she wasn't in foul trouble.

Mali starts 2nd qtr on a 7-0 run in two minutes of play. Score 23-21. USA playing role players and running offense is lacking.

Hopefully my last negative comment of the game. :)

Offense looks better with Crystal at point.

Crystal fed Megan with beautiful bounce pass for easy assist and 3pt play right before half time. First of many :D
It was pretty but I thought Walker missed the FT.
