USA beats Japan 89-46. The front line of Counts, Scott, and Serio did impressive work again in the first quarter and a series of American lineups followed that continued to extend the lead. The USA will face Great Britain tomorrow (Mon July 12) in the final game of pool play. Monday is a huge day of matchups all around and will largely determine seedings for the bracketed final set of games. We're anticipating a strong battle against the GB team.

The Women's team have the day off and will play Germany on Monday.

Good Job to both the Men's and Women's teams for winning all their games!

USA defeats Italy 83-34. While we were feeling confident about our first lineup and their pressing ability, no-one would have expected a 26-4 first quarter. The Italians started with a small lineup, in hopes of handling the anticipated pressure. #12 J Nelms opened the game up with a few 3's and then #9 Scott, #11 Serio, and #8 counts sliced up the extension. Italy experimented with a few lineups but were never able to establish the offensive pattern that they play well. The US play Japan tomorrow (Sun July 11) at 7:15am EST.

Wow, well, wasn't quite expecting to beat Poland by 49. (83-34). Poland has two amazing shooters (#5 Flipski and #11 Luchinski). Our game plan was to bring an aggressive press and make it very difficult for one of those two to work their way up court. Poland fought back for a while, but then succumbed to the pressure and the string of baskets the we put together.
Convincing victory, great to see the intensity we put into practice pay off in a game.
Italy tomorrow (Sat July 9) @ 6:45am EST.

The Women's team also won their game against Brazil 66 to 24!

Great start to the tournament for both USA teams!
