| U.s. Hitting from beyond the arc. Both Stewie and MoJo with 3 apiece.

| Carla Cortiji can't be stopped. She has 24 points and P.R. Only trails by 3.

| Impressive 30 sec. Series for Coates: an assist, a steal, an o-board, draws a foul, and hits a FT.

| Puerto Rico might be short, but they sure aren't going away. And USA is not hitting FTs very well.

2 questions:
Is PR's Carla Cortijo the TX alum of several years ago?
Is there a reason A'ja Wilson was not on this roster or the University games' roster?

Cortijo is the former Longhorn.
Wilson is captaining the U19s in Russia. Probably because her coach is the head coach of that team

The U19 is always the priority since it is an actual world championship. Players eligible for it are chosen there ahead of the Pan American/World University Games.

| I like Cortijo, pity she had to leave the game. The fact that the US cannot sub and put pressure on these teams is mind-blowing. Lots of eyes rolling on the bench.

| Did Cortijo ever make a Wnba roster. she was at Texas I believe during the transition from Jody to GG. Part of a highly recruited class (Ericka Arriran, Earnesia Williams, Marianna Mergerson, etc) that never achieved potential.

The object of any offense is to get good shots (you can't control whether they'll go in).
From what I saw, Jefferson took good shots. Yes, the point guard wants to get others involved, but if you're getting good shots and making a higher percentage than the people you might pass to, I can't call that bad decision-making.
Presumably, opponents will adjust to take away Jefferson's open looks and drives, and again presumably, when they do that, other options will open up. |
You coach, right? Don't you have a game plan? Don't you expect your players to follow it? Don't you pay any attention to the advantages of working the ball inside, such as being in position for offensive rebounds and getting the opponent' s star posts into foul trouble, neither if which happens when shots are jacked from 25 in the first 5 seconds of the shot clock? Or do you just sit there and have your star take all the shots? I thought you usually decried tht type of ball. |
My basic game plan is to do what gives us the best chance to win.
If you let a player get good looks and she keeps making them, I'm fine with that, regardless of what our plan was going in. Maybe our plan was to go inside, but they sagged off and took away the entry pass. We're not going to keep trying the game plan -- instead, we'll have the wings shoot open shots.
That was a tough game, and the USA won, thanks in great part to good shooting from Jefferson and Stewart. Maybe the next time they play, Brazil does something different, and other options are available.
Some nights you win with balanced scoring; some nights you win with one or two players taking over. The pregame plan isn't that important, in the grand scheme of things. As von Moltke said, plans do not survive first contact with the enemy.

| U.S. Is trailing Cuba by 8 with just under three minutes to go in the half. Coates and Stewart have 2 points combined and turnovers are mounting for U.S.

| Cuba only leads by two heading into the fourth as the refs call zero fouls on America in the third quarter.

Both teams look exhausted. Four games in less than 4 days taking its toll on USA's legs. It's showing up on the outside shooting.
The refs are swallowing their whistles on everything except fouls during a shot attempt.
