Since JTIII is coaching, and a couple (one?) of recruiting targets are playing, thought I'd start a thread on this week's tourney results:

Game #1: USA 82, Venezuela 73 (recap, box score)

Ryan Kelly
12 pts, 3-10 (0-3 3FG), 6-9 FT, 10 REB (3 OR), 0 A, 4 TO, 0 S, 27 min

Dominic Cheek
2 pts, 1-2 (0-1 3FG), 0-0 FT, 0 REB, 0 A, 0 TO, 1 S, 7 min

- Kelly lead the team in rebounding.

- The team shot 1-16 on 3FG for the game.

- Interesting sequence: "[Kemba] Walker scored the USA’s first 10 points, but the USA found itself trailing early and was down 23-17 with 1:43 to go in the first quarter. Kelly got a bucket and a free throw, while Dominic Cheek smothered his man, came up with a steal and a dunk to pull the score to 23-22 at the end of the period.

Next game is today at 3pm EDT, vs. Bahamas

Edited to add:
Is Leslie McDonald still a recruiting target?

What would you like, beyond what I had in the 1st post?

Here's the FIBA website (link)

Here's a link to a live box score (link).

87-31 USA after 3rd quarter (apparently, game time was 2:00 EDT).

59-11 at halftime.

There should be some kind of mercy rule.

"The ball should move, bodies should move. You talk about being an undisciplined, unselfish group. That's what you do. If the ball's sticking, great defensive teams are going to load up. If you don't move the ball and [be] unselfish, it's gonna be long nights, so you better learn to move the ball, share, and play with a sense of urgency on every possession. Our teams will always be unselfish, our teams will always be physical, and our teams will always do our best to defend."

Similary, Canada and Argentina advanced and their game is for positioning only as well.

are you suggesting there's a "jumped to conclusion" in my post PRHOYA? And is the PR your initials, your career as a Public Relations expert, or your point of origin in the Caribbean? [full disclosure might give a hint as to what's behind your post]

Suggesting that today's game was another blow out (106-64) hardly seems like a jumped conclusion.

And asking who the really good teams are while tossing out one possibility? Still doesn't seem like a jumped conclusion.

Well, ok. Maybe it will be different.
But a 42 point loss still qualifies as a "blow out" regardless of circumstances.
Not sayin' anything against the team or the Island.

Who were those two guards at UMASS who killed us in the elite eight in '96? I think both of those guys were from Puerto Rico.
