I had B. Jones in originally and then took her out for Boston. Happy for Jones I guess Boston has to wait her turn
I also had R. Howard in originally but I guess she will have to wait her turn as well
Super stoked for B. Laney!
Ionescu as well, but I was confident she was going to make the squad.
GO LIBRTY

| I would have taken Howard over laney...heck maybe even over Lloyd. Otherwise the squad looks strong. Glad they found some tough players in the post to hold down the fort. Aja , Stewie ,Jones , Thomas is a solid core. Boston will be there in 2024 . This is Bri Jones & Shakira's opportunity to prove she belongs on this team as i'm sure it will be Boston vs Jones & Austin for a spot in 2024.

Now A'ja and Chelsea need to board the plane to Australia.
Bri Jones and AT should be joining them as well, but alas they won't make the cut. |
Had to bring this over from the other thread

Travel logistics and the cuts. I’m a bit unclear on how this is going to work with the tip off against Belgium tomorrow at 9:30pm ET and three key players in a championship parade this (Tuesday) evening. Assuming they board the flight out of LA or LV to Sydney right after will they even be on the bench? Or is the plan to let these players rest until the weekend? Seems tight.
And I assume the two CT players have already traveled to Sydney? Thanks for any info, just curious.

| There's no way the Aces players play in the opener. The question is whether they miss any more games, and whether there are issues integrating everyone. I haven't seen any evidence of the Sun players being in Australia yet, but I don't follow the relevant social media as closely as many do. I imagine they might be there, but also that the US wouldn't be scared to play the first game with 7 players if necessary. |

Same , but i think maybe a loss early will be good for this team.

If they rest Conn and Vegas game 1
Ionescu
Loyd
Atkins/Laney
Copper
Stewart/Austin
Could probably start off going small and use the bench to beef up if necessary.
(I'm sure we could add in some Conn/Vegas players if we really had to).

Good Lord, Team USA's photos look like mug shots. That photographer ought to be fired.

| When do we think Wilson will have proceeded to the hangover point of the post-title celebration?

One way to avoid a hangover is to continue drinking, and alcohol is free on international flights, so it could be a while yet.

Wow, you definitely fly on better airlines than I do.
AThomas and BJones are there now, by the way, so the US should at least have nine available for the opener. |

You know, I'd forgotten that in this tournament they pretty much play games every day, so it's going to be interesting with the late-arriving players....
Edited to add: going by awhom111's link -- for the U.S. anyway....
Between games 1 and 2: 23 hrs.
Between games 2 and 3: 28 hrs. 10 min.
Between games 3 and 4: 47.5 hrs. (little break there)
Between games 4 and 5: 24 hrs.
That's 5 games in 6 days.
Then a 2-day break till the quarters (1 day off), semi's the next day, then Championship the day after that...
The deepest team wins! And teams that know each other well and don't need practices I guess....

For one thing, they'll be "basketball rested" for the first game they play in, while others have played the day before.

The 🇺🇸 #USABWNT team numbers are in.
USA Basketball continues to keep BG in our thoughts as we take the court in Sydney.
In her honor, no U.S. player will wear BG’s No. 15 in this competition.
