Game underway, looks like they might have beat us on the tactics. Based on their starters they're going outside for a change, and we're going 2-3 zone. Hopefully not, should be a tough game and a must win for them.

Big win over Canada, overcoming their new additions and their CT. Valle goes for 41 points in 31 mins, huge. And his backup? Carmichael goes for 30 in only 17 mins! 71 pts from the 2, not a bad day for that position.

Didn't nail the rock-paper-scissors game of tactics (M2M would have been ideal), but overall pretty good, shutting down their inside game and scoring early and often from outside against their M2M def.

Peru takes a loss to Brasil, so we're tied with Brasil at 3-0 for the top spots. Big game next week against Brasil. Need to weigh going all out for the top spot, or saving up for Peru to lock down a top 2 and build up enthusiasm for the semi-final.
