    China must have picked up another… we should get the WBB gold today, and the woman’s Vball are also playing for gold. Not sure what else is out there.

    Yeah we were looking last night. Those two are our best bets. There's a lot of random finals today in stuff, no clue if us or China have a shot

    I wonder how the medal count would sort out if Russia was at these Olympics?

    Slow start for both teams … thankfully France can’t hit anything because the US has only made two field goals. Score is 10-5 8 minutes in, mostly free throws. Lots of missed shots and turn overs by both teams.

    I have never seen so many turnovers and missed point-blank shots.

    edit : tied at the half

    Pretty sloppy for us and France playing really well. We are fortunate to be tied at half IMO. Let’s see if they can keep up this pace though.

    When Griner was in briefly she made a couple of those point blank shots down low. Didn’t stay in long though.

    Wilson only shooting 3/11 but blocking shots all over the floor.
    edit: has a nice touch from the free throw line though

    Women up 45-43 with 8:30 left. They were losing earlier for a stretch. Jacking up a bunch of 3s that aren't going. Tie game now

    Turnovers + missed point blanks/layups > points?
