Thanks for all the updates! I have been trying to follow the FIBA tournament but that time zone difference is a doozy.

I think this is the direct link to the ESPN Plus broadcast https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/2daa5e9e-3f7a-4827-b8d5-eafed5d8ea09

Canada getting pushed around with some uneven foul calling at 8:00 minute mark in the 2nd Q, down 34-23. Bridget is being covered pretty tightly.

Think I am heading to bed-but Canada making a run with a smaller line-up 34-28, Bridgett with five points.

Tough game - The commentator mentioned that Canada doesn’t have anyone on the bench to relieve the starters.
Add the fact that Australia has 4 WNBA players and the great Lauren Jackson.

Canada got it down to 5 but had a defensive lapse to allow a 3 to end the half and make it 8, 51-43.

I've been trying to follow it, too. I even posted a thread for Team USA under pro sports (it includes a link to the tourney website): https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/th...-great-play-at-world-cup.273815/#post-8505470

US has been playing awesome!! Great to see it!!

Also great to see Bridget have a good showing in the tourney!! Would be great to see Team Canada improve in the next couple of years and make the Olympic tourney field stronger.

It was, like, a 12-point deficit for Canada when I stepped away from the computer for a few minutes, and when I got back it was a 25-point game. Final was a 95-65 loss. Bridget with 7 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds.

Thanks for the score update.

Signed to play in Spain last month.

Inspiring Chatham and beyond, Bridget Carleton heads to Spain

The Lynx web site has a writeup about her play in Spain.

I miss Bridget.

Not a surprise -- the money is not guaranteed, so it was almost certain she would get a QO as a restricted free agent. Still, it seems likely Carleton will remain with the Lynx. She's a solid cheap depth option for them.

Interesting to see Anna Cruz back. The Lynx missed her tenacity - she is a “pest” (in a good way) who plays tenacious defense and can score too

It's about as good a situation as she could get in WNBA. The pay sucks but Reeve likes her and keeps giving her a shot. Hope she can stick with their roster again this season.
