Just glad our girls got out without an injury and now they can go home and get some rest. They have been on the road for over three weeks. Rickea best player in the tourney she did all she could for the team. Jewell made 12 threes in the tourney which is more than all the rest of the guards put together.

I am actually very high on Phelia from Michigan, its astounding to me she missed as much as she did.

Definitely some eye opening numbers. Most these players are much better than what the stats show. Idk what happened between NCAAA and up to this point, maybe some haven't been in the gym much but there is no way Reese, Kelly, Osborne, Phelia and company are that bad... maybe they aren't as good as the hype but I refuse to believe they are all that incompetent.

Congrats to Rickea she was awesome for the team. Betts played very well also. Barker and Reese were disappointments. None of the guards did anything much worth mentioning.

I’m kinda done with it. Limit the age, or not. Didn’t seem like a fair competition. That could be on the selection committee and USA organization.

Does that mean Rickea is much better than her stats show? Because if so, I gotta go lay down a second.

Ya'll said it all, those old ladies of Brazil ain't playin a bit. And the USA guards ain't playin for sh*t. Deja Kelly obviously knows where the bodies are buried. She was actively awful. Raven should have had her minutes. Etheridge was so far over her head she could barely peak over. From selection (and KJH was on this committee) right thru this team was off.

No one could have predicted the complete public shaming of Angel Reese and I'm ashamed to say I once would have enjoyed it. Not any more. It's embarrassing exactly bc of the scrutiny she invited tho. But not the end of the world, much as I'd like her to play at this level all season, I'll bet she uses it as motivation and we'll be sick of hearing the story by March Madness. Sure could of used a hand from her tonight tho.

Truthfully I barely care about the game, except how much Rickea deserved to wear that gold home. But holy cow, her first half was Holdsclaw ya'll. Holdsclaw offensive ability with a much better body. I might cry again! Already capable of hitting this level, and against this competition? She is so damn fun to watch when she finds this gear. Let it Be Dear Lord Let it Be!

Did she get MVP? By crackies deserved it. And oh yes, thank you basketball gods she did not get hurt in spite of that first game uber-scare!

Rickea won a Top 5 Gold Medal for being one of the top 5 players in the tournament, and that was so well deserved! Watching Rickea shoot is like watching poetry in motion, and I love to watch her, reminds me of how I felt when I watched Candace Parker play.

So proud of Rickea and Jewel, Congrats, and come on home Ladies!
