The USA pulled away from Canada with a 15-2 run at the end of the first quarter and went on to win 64-50 today in the second round of the 2009 FIBA U19 World Championship.
Nneka had 11 points and the team-high 12 rebounds for her second double-double of the tournament — and a block and three steals. She is one of five players in the tournament with two double-doubles, is third in rebounds per game (9.5), sixth in points per game (13.3) and second in 2-point field goal percentage (57.9).
Here is the game report, box score and quotes from USA Basketball and the game report, box score and photos from FIBA.
The USA will play what promises to be a tough game tomorrow against Russia, which is undefeated in the tournament. This is a head-to-head comparison of the two teams.
