We have 20 days until FIBA's WOQT Tournaments begin.

 

Please post YOUR predictions on which nations qualify and

which nations earn a trip to the glue factory.

 

Glue Factory                Qualified

 

Australia or Germany  Team USA FIBA's Women's 2022 World Champion   

Nigeria or Senegal       France                   

New Zealand

Canada or Hungary

 

Will Qualify

 

Brazil & Serbia

 

Belgium

 

China & Puerto Rico

 

Japan & Spain

 

Medal Contenders

 

Gold: Team USA - ANYTHING less than Gold is FAILURE!

 

Silver:        China - They are ranked number 2 in the world. It is time

                                to PROVE their world ranking is not a fluke.

 

Bronze: Belgium 6th, France 7th, Japan 9th, Serbia 10th, & Spain 4th.

 

The MOST at risk country is Australia. Their frontline is OLD.

 

Lauren Jackson Center Born: 11 May 1981 (age 43) Height: 195cm / 6'5"

Marianna Tolo: Center Born: 02 Jul 1989 (age 35) Height: 196cm / 6'5"
Cayla George: Forward Born: 01 May 1989 (age 35) Height: 193cm / 6'4"

Ezi Magbegor Forward Born 13 Aug 1999 (age 25) Height: 193cm / 6'4"
Bec Allen: Small Forward Born: 06 Nov 1992 (age 31) Height: 188cm / 6'2"
Sara Blicavs: Power Forward Born: 15 Feb 1993 (age 31) Height: 188cm / 6'2"

Alanna Smith: Forward Born: September 10, 1996 (Age: 27-131d)  6-4 (193cm)

                                                                               Average age is 32.42 years old

 

They have at best one decent "point guard" maybe and one sporadically ser-

viceable shooting guard.

 

Sami Whitcomb: Guard Born: 20 Jul 1988 (age 36) Height: 178cm / 5'10"

Tess Madgen: Guard Born: 12 Aug 1990 (age 34) Height: 180cm / 5'11"

These two guards have a combined age of 70.

 

Jade Melbourne: Guard Born: August 18, 2002 (Age: 21-154d)  5-11 (180cm)
Isobel Borlase: Guard Born: 12 Sep 2004 (age 19) Height: 180cm / 5'11"
Steph Reid: Point Guard Born 22 July 1996 (age 27) Height 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m)

These three guards have a combined age of 67.

 

Even IF Australia qualifies for the Olympics, their frontline is TOO old and they

do not have the point/shooting guards to compete against Belgium, Japan,

Serbia, Spain, or even France.

Spain SHOULD win this tournament. Spain and Japan are under the MOST pressure to

qualify for FIBA's 2024 Women's Olympic Basketball Tournament. Spain missed FIBA's

2021 Women's Olympic Basketball Tournament & FIBA's 2022 Women's Basketball World

Cup. They want REDEMPTION! Japan wants/needs to prove that their 2021 Women's

Olympic Basketball Silver Medal was not a fluke.

 

Olympic Basketball Tournament.

 

1. Can Team Canada qualify?

 

2. Will they place 2nd, 3rd, or 4th?

No Kia Nurse, as she suffered an injury in training. 
 

She’ll likely be back in time for the Olympics though (should Canada qualify)

 

Other notable absences include Aaliyah Edwards, and Cassandra Prosper (edit: Prosper suffered a lower leg injury recently, which explains why she’s out)
