Watched the entire event, as usual whenever they compete  (unless I’m extremely busy, but that’s almost never so…)

 

Wish they played this well in the knockout stages (and the latter part of pool play) at the Olympics though

Women’s Series Final in Hangzhou is on this weekend 

 

No Bosch this time around, and the usual Brown as the alternate, but both Plouffe sisters and Crozon are on the squad. 
 

Canada opened up with a 19-10 win over China U24 in the group stage! (started 10-0 up)

20-17 win over Spain to improve to 2-0!

18-15 loss to Italy 

[Josh 10,971]

And a 21-18 loss to the Netherlands in the semifinals, by far their worst performance of the season. Ugh.

Bronze for the men’s 3x3 team and gold for the women’s 3x3 team at the FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup! B-squad for the men, and a mainly A-squad for the women, with Grant-Allen instead of Michelle Plouffe.

Women’s 3x3 team won gold at the Champions Cup, defeating Spain 15-13 in the final. I obviously watched the final, but couldn’t be bothered to update after  
 

Will point out most teams, especially on the women’s side didn’t take this event seriously with the rosters they had, but Spain had a decent lineup. We switched out Michelle Plouffe for Saicha Grant Allen, she had a great tournament for us (besides her FT % in particular and 3PT %, although she usually struggles with those)
