Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, September 16, 2006

After a day of well-deserved rest, the US National team took on Cuba and, in a pun borrowed from the USABasketball site, smoked'em 90-50. You can listen to the post-game press conference here. Tennessee sophomore Candace Parker continued her outstanding play, scoring 16 points and snagging 9 rebounds. Tina Thompson and Diana Taurasi chipped in 13 points apiece.

Note to FSN viewers looking for the replay: double check your listings. New York has the game on tonight.

In other games of note, Australia snuck by the surprisingly strong team from Spain, 72-68, while France upset Russia, 74-64. France will play the US tomorrow.
