Japan participating in the universality tournament would be rather nonsensical, so I am glad they made it out of here.

To be fair the universality tournament is nonsensical :P

Disagree. Curling tricked the IOC into including mixed doubles under the pretense of bringing universality. And then all the quotas were grabbed by the traditional powerhouses.

FIBA included a small provision to prevent exactly that. If there was something nonsensical in this system, then that would be the ranking points calculation.

I'm okay with a universality qualification tournament, but only if it was something like a 16-team tournament.

We should have won that game after being 4 points up against Japan, but the girls played extremely bad at the end.

 

I hope none of these women represent Spain again internationally. We have dozens of players better than these, so the federation should try to convince them to play 3x3.
