Temi talks like this but meanwhile her FIBA record is disturbing and abysmal.

And there's no excuse. Great Britain is not too small to compete at the FIBA level. Great Britain is 6 times bigger than Belgium. Belgium has a population of only 11 million and a GDP of 50 million. And they have a 2018 World Cup bronze, a 2023 EuroBasket gold, and a gritty fourth place finish in these Olympics. They show up to FIBA every year and shake things up. That's why they have the respect of USA national team players.

But Temi and Great Britain don't have that respect. Great Britain has a population of 67 million and a GDP of 3 TRILLION. And somehow they still suck ass! That soggy country doesn't understand basketball and this comment is even more proof that they just don't get it.

39 points for Dillon Brooks. He has surpassed Carl Ridd's near 70-year record for the most points a single game by a Canadian at the FIBA Men's Basketball World Cup, which was set back in 1954. Truly a performance for the ages. - Sept 10 2023 - caption source - photo source

See this is why I didn't like Spain winning by so many points. This is even worst than FIBA Men's World Cup 2014. Back then, they reached quarter finals and they have a new coach. There's no excuse this time.

This is the extended Opals squad, it'll be reduced to 12 players before the Olympic Qualifiers in February.

Looks like LJ only *said* she was retiring after the World Cup, and hopefully we bring some PGs to test out before the Olympics.

Full article below the cut:

Basketball Australia has announced a 20-player squad ahead of February’s FIBA Olympic Qualifying tournament where the Seven Consulting Opals will look to punch their ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics.

A 12-player team will be picked from the extended quad for the Group A tournament in Belem, Brazil where Australia will play the host nation, Germany and Serbia from February 8 to 11.

The Opals must finish top three in their group to qualify for next year’s Olympics.

The squad features all 12 players from the 2022 bronze-medal winning World Cup team including 2023 WNBA champion Cayla George.

Young gun Jade Melbourne, fresh from her rookie WNBA campaign, has been included as well as 19-year-old rising star Isobel Borlase who has earned selection in her first senior national squad.

Opals Head Coach Sandy Brondello said the squad featured plenty of international experience as well as Australia’s stars of the future.

“The qualifiers in Brazil are definitely a challenge, the standard of women’s basketball globally has lifted considerably since the last Olympics as the game continues to gain momentum,” she said.

“Our squad is a great mix of experience and exciting emerging talent, so we approach the qualifiers with confidence but great respect for our opposition. We will have limited preparation for these qualifiers, but we know with the Opals, we lift for the big occasion and with an Olympics spot on the line we can expect each player to bring it.”

Borlase, who co-captained the Gems at this year’s FIBA Under-19 World Cup, expressed her excited of making her first Opals squad.

“To be recognised amongst all these phenomenal players is pretty special and I’m going to do everything I can to try and put my best foot forward.”

Marianna Tolo, one of six squad members playing in Europe this season, says the Opals are up for the challenge.

“Olympic Qualifying Tournaments are always nerve wracking because of what’s on the line. It helps that we have a lot of players who have been together before and then there’s a sprinkling of new faces, we’ve got a good squad which I think is ready for the challenge.

“We’re in a really tough group. Brazil as the home team have a huge advantage. Serbia have always been good and we’ve lost some big games against them, their team is probably not as strong as it has been but they’re always really smart. Germany are an upcomer with a new coach and the Sabally sisters (Satou and Nyara) always bring x-factor."
