00:00That's not too bad. Not too bad at all, and as Boz mentioned, the most prolific scoring team in the
00:05tournament, averaging 20 per.
00:07Bree Frazier has done what she has to do. She's scored at a high clip, but the help has been
00:12slim.
00:15Here we go. Final day of play. Check ball. It's been taken care of.
00:22Azerbaijan, however, got to force the United States to respect their ability to extend the floor.
00:28And there's Mollenhauer, right on cue.
00:3226% of possession, so they need to up that. Only right around 35 to 40%.
00:38Back to back. Inside they go to Hillman. Hillman-Baker. Oh, well! She tried it! She tried it!
00:50Shakira left her, shook up. Got that thing beat.
00:56Intentionally, yes. And she has Bree Frazier. Spent some time on the preseason roster.
01:02Oh! Take her off the to-do list. Austin.
01:07Incredible players. They win this 3x3.
01:11Sierra Burdick. The list goes on and on and on.
01:21A little bit of a slow start for Gray.
01:29Caught a risky pass. Frazier smacks it. Mollenhauer black.
01:34Way to attack. Azerbaijan trying to work the screening game on USA.
01:40Mollenhauer has come out of nowhere like, hey, friend.
01:46But I want to see Bree Frazier go up against Shakira Austin and the other way around.
01:51Oh, yeah. Look, I'm a former post player, right?
01:54I like to see, I like to see size meet size.
01:56Battle of the bigs. I ain't mad at that.
01:58Oh, give me that.
02:00Burton took her cookies like an internet browser.
02:03And then delivers to Hillman-Baker.
02:06And then the recognition.
02:09Outstanding seal inside.
02:13Somewhat short on experience for several of their players.
02:18But it has not made a difference at all.
02:21She looks meaner than her Instagram handle would suggest.
02:25Turleyhead Kira about to lay on the ground if you didn't know.
02:297-6. Back down.
02:32And out top.
02:34Gray on the move like Alicia's up.
02:38She puts the shot up and it goes down.
02:40The bump and the bucket.
02:43Had Erica Carter.
02:46Shakira.
02:47Hands it over to VB.
02:49Back to Austin.
02:52Straight down the lane for the lane.
02:55And now starting to understand some of the nuance of 3X3.
03:00Burton.
03:01Fakes it like a Fendi bag.
03:05That Fendi's spelled with a PH.
03:06H.
03:09Anyway.
03:10Oh!
03:11There's Mrs. Carter.
03:13I just asked where has she been.
03:16Erica Carter with a liver.
03:18Carter 2-3.
03:20Over Grant.
03:23Nowhere to go but drops the package off to Frazier.
03:26He misses the 6-footer.
03:28Active hands from Frazier.
03:30She hands it off to Mullenhauer.
03:32All net.
03:33All wet.
03:34Top of the key.
03:35Azerbaijan.
03:36Back in it.
03:37They got life.
03:38Alisha unleashes.
03:40And she will miss it.
03:42As well.
03:44Mullenhauer.
03:45Catch me if you can.
03:48Count it.
03:49Plus an unsportsmanlike foul.
03:52Wow.
03:52I don't care what the seating is or what the rankings are.
03:56Free throws.
03:57To go with that made layup.
04:00And we could be looking at a tie game.
04:02I think that's a win.
04:04Different squads back then though.
04:06Yeah sure.
04:07Mullenhauer has gone to work.
04:11That might stick if she keeps hooping like this.
04:16Oh she is on a heater right now.
04:20It's going to take a hell of an effort from them.
04:22And obviously more sharp shoes.
04:25Free Flacco over to AC.
04:28Into Mullenhauer.
04:31Mullenhauer is doing them dirty.
04:34Eight points for Alexandra the Great.
04:39I gave her two nicknames in the same game.
04:42You know she who.
04:43Burton is broken.
04:45From deep that is.
04:48The shots are not falling.
04:50Dine delivered.
04:51Mullenhauer adds another one.
04:56She's got 12 in the game.
04:58I forgot about the free throw.
04:59Oh my goodness.
05:00She's got 12 of Azerbaijan's 17.
05:05They go down low.
05:07And Herman Baker delivers.
05:10We're under a minute to play.
05:14Carter.
05:15Carter.
05:15Coming through some contact.
05:17And Carter finishes with the lane.
05:23Moving it around to AG.
05:26Whoa.
05:28Yeah.
05:29So not a bad idea for the USA.
05:31Scored 13.
05:33Outscored the United States.
05:3413 to 4.
05:36Make that 13 to 6.
05:38Wait a minute.
05:39Hold up.
05:41Alicia Gray finally connects.
05:45At first we get, we get a bunch of, we get.
05:48Coming down to the horn.
05:50Tick, tick.
05:51Boom.
05:53Erica Carter.
05:54AC.
05:56As cold as the air conditioner.
06:01Oh.
06:02Beats the horn.
06:03This is an instant classic.
06:05Comes in late.
06:08She hadn't hit a shot from outside the entire game.
06:1225 rebounds per game.
06:14They got 33 offensive rebounds.
06:16The Netherlands 40 total.
06:19Janos.
06:20Boonstra.
06:21And Ilsa.
06:23Calci.
06:23And the Netherlands are going to try to see if they can.
06:28Power in 3x3.
06:31And we're back yet again.
06:34Netherlands, Canada.
06:38She's wearing her hair up today.
06:39Yeah.
06:41She's all business.
06:44Pull up.
06:45Bottoms.
06:46That'll start to score.
06:50So I went back to the World Cup and looked at that game.
06:54As Casey Boston misses it too.
06:56I looked at why the Netherlands won and they kept Canada from scoring inside the arc.
07:006 of 16 from 1.
07:02That is very uncharacteristic for this candidate squad.
07:05They kept Stacy Grant Allen for 2 points only.
07:08You would hope for if you're a Dutch fan.
07:11So far it has been recent.
07:13Got a scratch by Kat.
07:16I listen to you sometimes.
07:18Oh, there you go.
07:18No, they are about 3 quarters of an inch taller on average than Australia and the USA.
07:25There's Ilsa.
07:27Difficult is going to get late game when that physical attrition starts to wear in.
07:31And that fatigue plays a foul.
07:33Yes.
07:35Go ahead, my back.
07:36No, I was going to say, but that's not the way this team is built.
07:39This team is built to win in the last five minutes of the game.
07:42That's one of the Netherlands, I believe.
07:43Is it?
07:45Yes, third.
07:46I've got to wipe my glasses off.
07:49Oh, with the lefty scoop.
07:55Ilsa took a little pop.
07:58Oh, oh.
08:00That was wet.
08:02Ilsa get to it early for the Dutch.
08:07There's your Grant Allen.
08:10Access granted.
08:11What Andreessen could do about it.
08:14Tough bucket through the contact.
08:16Almost got stripped and stuck with it.
08:18Oh, look at Andreessen right back.
08:20And it's working so far.
08:24Over to Ilsa.
08:25Up to Janice.
08:27Here it comes.
08:29Boonstra.
08:30Drops it through.
08:31And that's a welcome sight from Boonstra to her teammates.
08:38Given some of her struggles.
08:40And same can be said for Cat Ploof.
08:43She drops that one through.
08:46Ploof averaging under four games in this tournament.
08:49That was only her second two-point make out of 16 attempts on the tournament.
08:54Yes.
08:56A little bit of a frustrating trip this time.
08:59But nothing to win won't solve.
09:02They've got some work to do.
09:04She recovers the miss and converts it.
09:06The Canadians keep close.
09:08Eight to six.
09:11MVP Dree from the low goal.
09:15And she has worked so hard on that shot.
09:17Now it's knocked down.
09:19Look at the D from Dree.
09:24Out to Ilsa who lets it go.
09:28That was an open layup too.
09:29Nice action too.
09:32Cat trying to take advantage.
09:34Nice footwork inside with Boop.
09:36And Canada, man.
09:37It's an uphill climb here.
09:41Boop.
09:42Trying to hold off Dreesen.
09:44Dreesen on all kinds of trouble.
09:47And Cat delivers to the cutting Sesha Grant-Allen.
09:51Done a good job with Sesha Grant-Allen.
09:54She's been pretty quiet.
09:56Yeah, they've broken up all the passes to her.
09:59She's waking up now and she's going to tie that up.
10:02Kosen delivers if she can get a look.
10:04Let's see if they run it.
10:05Okay, just a handoff this time.
10:09Kosen to the rim.
10:12But, you know, the game is never over.
10:15Just use our opener as an example of that Ajibakshan USA game.
10:20Oh, yeah.
10:26Dreesen driving yet again.
10:29She's got 11 again.
10:32She's a certified bucket getter.
10:36Janice with the thievery.
10:38Back over to Dreesen.
10:40Ilse Kaut lets it go and it's going down.
10:4521-12.
10:48Three women Netherlands over the reigning champions.
10:52Ain't no smile on her face.
10:54She got her game face on.
10:56She was all business.
10:58And she was all business last game as well.
11:01Seven points, eight boards.
11:02Mama Page.
11:04The zone.
11:05Krozan.
11:08Rounds out to four.
11:09This would be the time for Krozan to find her shot again.
11:12Here are Austin up top.
11:14Kat Kluf defending women's third place game from Bangkok.
11:20Champions Cup 2026.
11:22With a couple of AmeriCup golds and Olympic gold and bonds.
11:30Off the miss is Shakira.

11:44Steps over.
11:45Close it and delivers the layup.
11:47Walk, walk, walk.
11:50Flip, bump.
11:51One hit.
11:52Ray misses it and she's shaken up again.
11:57Four-one start for the United States of America.
12:03Herman sticks with it.
12:05Persistence will pay off.
12:09Having trouble getting to their spots.
