It is bizarre how little time Tatum got during the games considering he is first team all NBA.

I just saw the highlights of Curry down the stretch. Best shooter ever, agreed.

Italy women’s volleyball is dominant - very one sided vs US in the gold metal game.

Edit: Swept in straight sets. Wow - only lost 1 set all tournament.

Has there ever been a volleyball team (men’s or women’s) that dominating?

US basketball is just horrible to watch. Just sloppy play on both the men's and women's teams. Thank god the men had Curry. Looks like Clark was needed for this game.

I’ll say it:

Women’s Hoops is awful to watch. 100% pure AWFUL. I use to go to a lot of RU games while in school but that’s because I’m a crazy sports fan. This crap isn’t watchable.

Now THAT being said …12 TO’s already mid-2nd quarter is embarrassing and nobody on this team can hit a shot from the perimeter??!! 2 words: Caitlin Clark.

Are you watching? 12 turnovers already. Can't hit a shot. Just street ball.
I think RUSNP was talking about the men. The women are playing really badly right now. France is playing the Angel Reese strategy - throw **** up and rebound

Yup. Didn't realize the women were playing now but by the sound of it probably a good thing I'm not watching.

These are supposed to be our best professional players. My God, I'd hate to see what the rest of that league looks like. I seriously thought our best were better than this.

If this is still a one or two possession game with a minute left it will be decided by the refs for sure.
