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

    • Frölunda Overcome Luleå in OT to Claim Fifth CHL Title   Game Recap   For only the second time in Champions Hockey League history, the Final went to overtime, wher e Frölunda Gothemburg were crowned 2025/26 European Club Champions as they took down Luleå Hockey 3-2 to lift the the European Trophy once again.    Jere Innala played hero for the hosts who secured their fifth CHL title in front of a sellout crowd in the Scandinavium.   Neither club conceded much ice to the opposition in a scoreless first period that showcased a solid demonstration in defence from both sides.   Though Frölunda ended the stanza with shots in their favour 8 to 3, it was an opportunity for Luleå, who almost broke the deadlock near the midway mark when a deflection in front nearly got past Tobias Normann, who made good on the save.    Then, early in the second, it was the visitors with another excellent attempt when a cross-ice feed almost found the back of the net on a tip-in chance that ricocheted off the far post as Normann slid across to manoeuver it back into play.    Later on, Luleå became the recipients of the first powerplay of the night, but it was the hosts taking advantage when the hero for Frölunda from the 2017 CHL Final put his team in front on a brilliant individual effort.   Nicklas Lasu, who went pointless in the Playoffs, intercepted a pass near the blueline before dashing towards the offensive zone, where he skated in all alone and wristed the puck past the blocker of Matteus Ward to open the scoring.   Puck dropped in the third and immediately Luleå set about dictating the pace of play and it paid off when Eeto Koivistoinen tipped in a shot from the point to even things at 1-1.   The side's leading scorer, Mathias Bromè, whipped the puck towards the net as Koivistoinen, who was parked just above the crease, got his stick on it to deflect it into the cage.   Minutes later, however, Frölunda found their second with a deflection of their own on the powerplay.    Play developed when Henkrik Tömmernes played catch with Innala along the near wall before fluttering the puck through traffic as Jacob Peterson managed to redirect it past Ward to regain the home side's one-goal lead.    The visitors continued to play desperate hockey in the final minutes of regulation and were rewarded when, with just 16 seconds to go in regulation, it was Luleå levelling the score thanks to Otto Leskinen's first-ever CHL goal.    Leskinen glided down the near side where the puck eventually made it to his stick, as he corralled it and then fired it far side past Normann.   In the extra session, it was some undisciplined play which resulted in a powerplay opportunity for Frölunda, who made the most of it when Innala converted on a one-timer from inside the near circle that beat Ward clean glove side to lift his team over Luleå and become the 2025/26 CHL Champions.
