Poll U19 Gold Medal Who Wins Russia or USA

[Wbbfan1]

I suspect the poll will overwhelming say USA will win the Gold Medal. However I suspect Russia will give USA a tough test and just might win it with their Front Court Strength. USA will have to hit their outside shots, limit TO's and keep Russia from setting up in the low post for easy baskets.

USA is missing Shaykla Thomas who would have helped against Russia and of course Katie Samuelson.

Russia is for real. They have two 17 yr old bigs that ANY college here would like to have.

How are the Russian guards ?

They have one shorter guard, #9, who is very quick. She can play. I expect a very close game. Surprisingly, Russia hasn't shot the 3 very well so far, only 22% as a team. The USA is at 33% even with their 0 for 10 effort today. I wish KLS was available to play. She would cause some major problems.

Thomas has gone back to the US for personal reasons.
