DeCosta dominant in scoring, rebounding and FTA's.
Maya Dodson dominant in minutes played and also had the most assists.
Poor 3PA and 3PM stats. |

In general, there are two stats that matter for American international teams: three-point percentage and turnovers.
14% and 26.
Not good news ...

There is no boxscore, but the United States needed a huge comeback to beat Australia 70-67 in the last exhibition:

I am not sure what to think about the result. It is good to see the fightback, but such a big deficit is surprising even if the Gems are supposed to be very good, especially with Magbegor.
This is generally considered a very wide open tournament and those who follow this sort of thing do not even necessarily consider the United States among the favorites. I have even heard someone suggest that finishing third in their group would not be out of the question.

Well color me surprised. As the 3rd Q comes to a close, China leads France by 4.

And China blows out France, opening up a 20 pt lead on the way to a 12 pt win.
This China team looks pretty solid.

Spain and Portugal tied with eight minutes to go. Good game
It's amazing they show these games at all. Seems to be around 300 youtube viewers. I assume that's the worldwide total.
Picture is great. No announcers, play by play, or commentary.

The Nigerian team was denied necessary visas for travel to Spain so they are missing the tournament and forfeiting their games.
No idea what the issue is but feel sorry for the girls who are probably victims of incompetence or politics or both.
France evidently suffers Clay's "US syndrome". Way too many turnovers (29), and lousy 3pt shooting (27% vs China's 47%) resulting in an unexpected loss.

USA - S Korea underway. Size-wise the Koreans look like 5th graders compared to the US.

In the early going, this US team looks like a classic Pat Summit team. Can't shoot, but they play defense and dominate the backboards.
Against Korea that looks like it may be enough.

Interesting approach. On one possession the US got five shots of five feet or less, missed them all, finally got fouled and got the chance to make free throws.
That's one approach I guess. If you can keep getting offensive boards until a shot finally goes in or you get fouled, you can probably score enough to win.

Middle of second quarter US leads 41--20.
Key stat - US holds a 32-13 rebounding edge.
32 rebounds in 15 minutes of play. Wow.
US is also 0-4 from behind the arc.

Nigeria is notorious for players birth year chicanery.

US beats Korea 104-45.
US shoots 51% on 2s, a whopping 11% (1/9) on 3s.
US has 24 turnovers, forces 15.
But - here's the biggie - US outrebounds Korea 85-28, including 33 offensive rebounds.
I'm not sure I've ever heard of a team having 85 rebounds in a game before.

The biggest upset may not have been China over France but Mali over Brazil instead. Brazil has three players in high school/AAU in North Carolina.

Mali led virtually the entire game and by 11 at the half. This wasn't a fluke. They went out and beat 'em.

US won 72-63.
Most remarkable stat today - 143 combined shots
US was 27/71, Czechs were 19/72.
Of course lots of missed shots means lots of rebounding opportunities - 97 combined, with US having a 56-41 edge.
27 turnovers today for the US.
