Team USA - Basketball

We're 2/3 of the way through the 1st round of Qualifying for the 2027 World Cup for our Men.  We're 3-1 (having lost to :DOM), and still have to play :DOM and :MEX again in July.  Regardless of how those go, we're moving on to the 2nd round, starting in August (but results from the 1st round carry over, so we want to do well).

 

From an Olympics perspective, it doesn't matter if we make the World Cup, as we're already qualified.  7 other teams will qualify based on the WC results, the last four teams coming via OQTs later.

 

For the Women, we're obviously already qualified, and we're also already qualified for the 2026 Women's WC.  For this, if we win, then no other team qualifies for the Olympics at this point; otherwise, the winner will qualify.  The other 10 (or 11, if we win) teams will come from an OQT in 2028.

I missed that our USAWBB team would still be playing in the WC qualifiers this week (starting today vs. :SEN ).  Even though we're qualified, I guess just the experience on the court can be beneficial.

Interested to see Caitlyn Clark in a USA uniform for the first time.

:USA 110-46 :SEN

 

Comfortable win in what's basically a friendly for our women's team as we are already qualified for the World Cup.

 

Clark had 17 points and 12 assists.

 

We play :PUR tonight at 8 p.m. ET on TruTV

    • I have done some reading about Bulgaria since 1990 and have come to the conclusion that this country remember a little a Ukraine, only it's located a bit better, which is why it's in the EU and NATO. Unfortunately, corruption is big there, and essentially nothing has changed since the 1990s. A huge opportunity was missed. Is it strange that after joining the EU, nothing changed that`s and the EU accepted this country without any reforms? I remember that when Poland joined the EU, it wasn't that simple. Strange. In any case, in 1991, Bulgaria had an 85% voter turnout, and now it's barely 50% and that's a success. Apparently, people have had enough. Neighboring Romania has probably made much more progress since the 1990s, but it must be admitted that it's a much larger country. Currently, Bulgaria can only count on the development of tourism as its main economy, right?

    • Stan Moody was like one red away from leading Kyren Wilson 8-3 and never won another frame losing 7-10.   Antoni Kowalski put up a fight vs Mark Williams in the first session but ultimately fell 4-10. Still a historic moment for  snooker!
    • I think China will nominate a sport they will be successful in, even if it's the third or fourth choice for a home Olympics
    • Isn't it boring that a man and a woman are tennis players? Besides, for me, Pogacar achieved more than Alcaraz... How was Alcaraz better than Sinner? And Sabalenka only won one Grand Slam...    
    • SML's introverted personality is terrible for marketing but it's still a huge coup for Sabalenka & Belarus to take Laureus!    
    • We'll see – Radev has complete power... If he's clever, he'll take over all the media, institutions, tribunals etc., and will does propaganda that poverty exists because the EU, LGBT and the Green Deal are bad  Orban ruled terribly, but for 16 years, he was elected in Hungary thanks to propaganda. It's not that only you have to rule well to have high support. It's just that from what people are writing, Radev isn't as clever as Orban... On the other hand, if he were stupid, he wouldn't have won yesterday with 45%. He can't be underestimated, at all.
    • But these are the times when being pro-EU is no longer cool, unfortunately. That ended around 2010. Now there are plenty of Orbans, Radevs, Trumps, Le Pens, AFDs, etc. Even the Magyar in Hun didn't say much about the EU, because the Hungarians didn't want to hear it. I'm afraid that some Radev-like emerge will soon in Slovakia, because Fico is probably too discredited and will take all power. It's important that it's more of a Magyar than Radev, but Russia will certainly does to get someone of its own there. Especially since, apart from maybe Poland and the Czech Republic, in the entire post-USSR bloc, most people still simply like Russia.
    • The exit poll showed 38% for Radev, and then it rise to 45%, as if people didn't want to admit they voted for him? Well, it had to happen eventually, because elections can't be held every 6 months forever. The question was, who would take advantage of this? They found a old communist who called himself a new party- Progressive Bulgaria :P But, since he was president in your country for 10 years, people shouldn't have fallen for it. Turnout is also very low... Unfortunately, in Bulgaria, it's either chaos, or some strange emerges, like the former king in 2001, then Boiko Borisov, now Radev, etc. What's more, it seems you still have a strong sentiment for communism and Russia, which is why Radev didn't even have to hide his good relations with Putin.
