Alright Canada basketball fans we have to apologize. We failed to post the last few days at worlds. The bitter taste of defeat after Greece and Brazil hit us hard.
Overall we gave it our best effort, leaving everything on the court but we can't help but feel we should have done better. For outsiders the fact that we made it out of the "pool of death" was a surprise but we went in believing we would advance. To suffer close loss after close loss can certainly discourage you but we are proud of the way we battled. The experience will only make us stronger, nine out of the twelve girls on our team had never been to a World Championship before.
The day after our last game we were already splitting up. We are now spread out all over the world training and getting ready for next summers Olympic qualifier!

  3. Hey girls, we know you were all very disappointed in the outcome but we were so proud of each and everyone of you. You battled to the very end n every game and a couple of bounces or rolls this way and maybe a different outcome. It was incredible to be there and see the competition, how you could still go so hard after 8 games in 10 days was amazing! Keep on believeing and prepare to take the americas qualifer next summer.
