Sooky Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Nice article on the basketball team! Had no idea that they only drafted in their Australian coach a few weeks ago and that they were seeded 8/8. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/commonwealth-games/43747882 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though England women are currently giving Canada women a hard time, if they win that, that's a pretty big upset too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I have to say im getting fucking beyond bored by the england centric coverage pish from the BBC, they aren’t even pretending to be balanced now. They were making intro videos for English Heptathletes ‘so good they named her twice’ and that pish, despite there being Scottish and Welsh athletes in the mix who werent even mentioned, i wish there was alternative coverage.

I was discussing with Tom English on Twitter the coverage about the Scotland Basketball reaching the semis the other day. The initial BBC website post had a 2-line sentence about it, and then had a 2-line sentence about England going out. He replied that "looks like a bit of gratuitous BBC bashing to me" To be fair they (well English has) have picked up their game since then.

Boghead ranter Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 England Basketball girls have just beaten Canada 65-53, after having been beaten 80-54 in the pool game. Some turnaround! That's them in the final to face the winner Australia/NewZealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It's just come back to me while watching the hockey just now - the commentator in a game the other night described one player's attempt as a "swing and a miss". I hope P&B collected their royalties on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Scotland’s performance against Australia in the basketball semi this evening is tough to watch. They’ve done brilliantly to get this far, with a very shallow squad (half a dozen BBL-standard players plus a few rookies), but tonight they’re playing like they’ve forgotten everything they ever knew. Shooting 6% from downtown close to the end of the third quarter is lamentable. Looking like a 60 point defeat incoming. Australian are a top 10 nation, and even without their NBA stars, a rout was always on the cards, but Scotland have been shooting even worse than the numbers look, with numerous efforts not even threatening the rim. Lets hope they can regroup for the bronze medal match, most likely against Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any attempt that the Scots got at the target was an under pressure one. Fair play to the guys on 2 points though - A, they kept at it the whole game (and did pretty well in the 2nd Q), and B, they've overperformed by a country mile in the tourney. Canny believe that Canada beat NZ, I was well confident that the bronze match would be Scotland/Canada. Playing NZ for the bronze will be another huge task, I hope they're not too demoralised after the Australia match. Bronze medal match is at midnight tonight, if I've got my timings right.
