Loved Sabrina Ionescu's FU three pointer against Belgium!!!

A pair of games on Saturday.

 

Serbia (2-0) vs Spain (2-0) plus a elimination game Puerto Rico (0-2) vs China (0-2)

[stockblock 39]

Well Spain beats Serbia 70-62 but it wasn't even that close as Spain led by 19  at end of 3rd quarter. China beat Puerto Rico 80-58. I watched all the games in Group A and find it the most strange group i have seen. So Puerto Rico who lost 2 games by 4 points gets blown out by China who got blown out by Serbia who got blown out by Spain who won both its early games by 1 point !

 

 

Anyway China moves to -1. Assuming Belgium will try to roll it up on Japan in the first game tomorrow. If successful Nigeria, Australia and Canada would be forced to win to get in

Our final day of Group play where 3 nations will qualify for the quarterfinals

Australia needs a win against France otherwise they stay out of knockout phase

Belgium clinched by blowing out Japan.  Nigeria became the first African Women's basketball team to qualify for the quarterfinals with a win over Canada.  Congrats Nigeria !    Now its down to Australia or China to for the final spot.

The Opals are looking to sneak in and steal a Bronze.

 

I fully expect Belgium & Germany to advance tomorrow. IF the Opals get pass

the Serbians they will have to face Team USA and and will lose BADLY !!!

Then the Opals will play either Belgium or Germany in the Bronze medal game,

that is a bridge too far.
