Just watched the game versus Austria - not aesthetically pleasing! What has happened to Lauren Cox - she’s a shell of her former self?

When she got out of Baylor and people could match her physicality and size she struggled because her skill sets were not what other players her size were. Also did not adapt to the pro game. Bridget Carleton transformed her body to be more athletic, became a plus defender and plays a very good role in the WNBA. It appears that Cox thought that her at Baylor was as good as she needed to be. Prophetic now that BC beat her out for B12 Player of the Year.

USA beat Brazil 18-14. Was tight game. Ashley had one basket as I recall and missed about three from distance. Next is just before 9::00 this morning Iowa time is a game with also undefeated France. Neither team shot well in their first games today.

To OT. Not sure how that works in 3x3. USA forced a shot clock violation to keep it tied with 4.5s left. You know who missed a last second attemp.

Good comeback win. Just my thoughts watching the game against France. The ball hog carries this team. Ashley struggles at times with the physicality of the game. She was taking a beating not unlike how she gets beat up in the college game. Not her best defensive effort in this game.

USA came back in this game at the free throws line. France fouled at the USA did not. Ashley was 2 for 2 on free throws. France shot better from distance.
