Decent game out of the squad today, although definitely could have been better. The team came out firing on all cylinders in the first half, taking a 27 point lead at half. The 3rd quarter was pretty even, but the 4th quarter got a bit ugly with the backups in play. It also did not help that our backup center got injured at the start of the 4th, so our reserve PG played at center the entire 4th quarter. At the end of the day, though, a win is a win and we take those.

Next week we got Mexico, who will be one of the tougher matchups of this second group. They are headed by a very strong 92k center Olivio Barcala, and behind him a 54k center Nicasio Munguia. They are then rounded out with a nice set of guards around the 20k range in terms of salary. It will be a tough matchup but we will prepare this week in practice and come to the game ready to work.

Go USA!

Last year, the USA Soccer team swept Mexico and beat them all 3 times in 2021. Soccer isn't even our main sport... Despite that, Mexico is going to wish they were playing soccer when we stomp them by 20 next week.

United States 107-55 Uruguay

Complete dominance today, as we were in full control of the game from the start. The first half was good, nothing crazy but we went into the half up by 14. The 3rd quarter was a complete destruction of the Uruguay defense, along with them being locked up on offense. We outscored them by 30 in the quarter, 37-7. The backups came in for the full 4th quarter and put together a nice performance growing our lead just a little more. Webster had a great game shooting 9-13 with 23 points, adding on 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Polk did not have the best shooting day but still walked away with the double-double; 10 points and 18 rebounds.

Now next up is Mexico, I initially thought this week was Mexico but had the schedule switched, so my writeup for them is in the above post. A win in this game likely secures first place in our group heading into playoffs, so it is an important game for us. Let's secure that top spot!

Go USA!

Good overall win today that secures us 1st seed headed into the playoffs! Team played great through 3 quarters, but the backups came in and put up a lackluster performance in the 4th, making this game look a lot closer than it actually was. Lonnie Miller put up a great performance at the SG position, shooting 10-16 with 20 points and 5 assists. Not far behind him came Joseph Hobbs with 17 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. We were also quite efficient from the FT line shooting 86% as a team.

Next week we get Dominican Republic, who is currently 1-2 and coming off a pretty brutal loss to Uruguay. They look to have some nice up and coming pieces for their future rosters, but as far as this season goes this should be a pretty routine and comfortable win. Playoff prep starts now!

Go USA!

Clean win today as we completely trampled our opposition. The game was a little bit too close for my liking at half, but the team put together a masterclass of a performance in the second half, including a 40 point 4th quarter from the backup players. No major individual standouts in this game as many players achieved double digit scoring. The rebounding dominance was there along with an impressive 14 blocks for the team as a whole.

Not much else to say about this game, as there is not much to say about our last matchup of the group, Ecuador. Ecuador sit in last place in the group at 0-4, and haven't really been close in any game during this group. While their roster seem to have some decent pieces in the 10-20k salary range, they clearly cant put it together on the court, and their bigs seem to be partying a little too hard on Sunday nights with their abysmal gameshape. We look to close out the group with a strong performance headed into playoffs.

Go USA!

Ecuador straddles the equator, just like our balls are going to straddle their chins when we dunk all over them.

Defensive masterclass today from the team, only allowing 32 total points and holding our opponents to 9-80 (11%) shooting. Ecuador only ended up playing 5 players in the game, with one of them fouling out in the final minutes of the game so a Lucky Fan got some playing time. It seemed pretty clear that Ecuador was simply conceding their season so we cruised to an easy victory today.

That concludes the regular season, where we finish the second group 5-0 and complete the season on an 11-0 undefeated record! Playoffs is up next, with semis finals happening Friday night. We will be playing the 2 seed from the other group, which is Canada. Canada has a well rounded roster, with a solid group of bigs at the top followed by some good guard pieces. They went 5-1 in their first group, 3-2 in their current group losing to Argentina and Chile on less enth.

This semi final matchup has a qualification for worlds on the line, so we are going to come out with the fire and execute the gameplan. Lets win!

Go USA!

United States 92-69 Canada

Worlds has been secured! Our number 1 goal for the season was to make it into Worlds competition and this victory does just that. The team put together a complete game today and pulled away with a convincing win over Canada. Defense was on point holding them to just 31% shooting from the field. Every player who touched the floor tonight had important contributions to win so good all around team performance. Our free throw shooting was very off today, however, and we will definitely be hitting the line in practice before the finals.

Speaking of the finals, we are up against Argentina. The 2 Americas powerhouses meet in the final as it was destined from the start of the season. They dismantled Brazil in their semi final matchup, after Brazil's interesting choice of outside isolation offense. Argentina has a complete roster, ranging from top quality bigs down to their complete group of guards. Gameplanning and practice for this game will be a fun one for sure.

We completed our first goal at securing Worlds, now lets go complete our next goal and get that gold trophy!

Go USA!
