On the men's side probably Netherlands and Latvia are favorites, but they're in the same group. Outside of them USA, France, Qatar, Slovenia, maybe even Mongolia

Wow, what a loss for Lithuania vs USA. Leading 20:16 having multiple opportunities to win and then losing the ball up 20:19 and giving up a two next possesion for the win. Really really bad job from LTU, choked.

Oh, I just saw this is a thread for women..

 

USA and France top two for sure, others I don't know, it's going to be tight.

after this beating that the usa gave us, I doubt our ability to beat Germany in a group match, and the Hungarians in the quarter if we get there

There was a terrible call offensive foul called vs LTU on 20:18 and a ball, offensive foul on a guard some 9m away from the basket, I've never seen that in 3x3 at this level, but still....Also LTU just let Americans score 3pts on a drives because they didn't want to foul cause they were in the penalty, they had like 4 possesions to score 1pt..

Interesting to see how the organizers continue with this tournament with today's rains and rains scheduled for Saturday as well.

The Dutch are in big trouble, they will have to beat us tomorrow, otherwise they are likely out.

Nice win against the Netherlands, the QF should be almost certainly secured now. But we need to play better if we want to qualify.
