The USA women’s team has attempted
3 threes in the first half? Does the women’s game need an analytic revolution?

France reminds me of the 90’s Knicks with the physicality, which explains some of the missed layups. But the US turnovers on seemingly half their possessions are the reason for a 25-25 halftime score. Yikes.

It is kinda like a 90s/00s NBA game. Super physical (France drew the fifth foul on Young by two-hand shoving her into a cutting player) and lots of two point jumpers.

Lol what. That was a hilarious ending, Gabby Williams made a prayer shot at the buzzer but was just inside the line. Why did she so run so far in?

Haha I saw someone point out that they pulled off the Kihei-Mamadi play, which is cool, but they needed 3 not 2.

Had the outcome (but not final score) spoiled for me before I was able to watch the recording, unfortunately. Still a really good game/fun watch regardless

Indeed I did. The tie threw me off. Well, that and the fact that Cal shouldn’t be in the ACC.

I kept scrolling further and further down the list of colleges and universities with medal winners, including one or two community colleges, several Division 3 schools, a school called Life University, and another called College of Sequoias, but, nope, no Virginia Tech winners. :joy:

So Life = Chiropracty. I guess if you have a bad back, that’s true

Yeah, but if you have a bad back you should really be seeing a doctor, not a chiropractor. But that’s a whole different convo.

I live like 10 mins away from Life University as I said they are massive in the rugby world. Even though they did not develop a colligate rugby program until the mid 2000s. Without even thinking about it I would bet between the U.S. Men’s and Women’s rugby teams there were at least 4 Life grads.

I’ve known a lot of graduates you either get a degree in chriopratic work or nutrition.

If UVA was a country, it would have finished 16th in the medal count.
