Stephanie hasn't played since I started watching but she has a stat line of 1/1 from 2, 1/1 from 3 for 5 points, 5 rebounds and a steal in 6 minutes of action.

Argentina (in the other group) is clearly the only team in the tournament with any reasonable shot at beating Brazil. In the semis, Argentina will most likely play Colombia while Brazil will probably play Venezuela.
It looks like these are indeed the semifinal pairings.
 
Another tension filled game for Brazil. Won 100-37. I believe Stephanie had 8 points.
Her line: 8p (1/3 from 2, 2/3 from 3), 9r, 1a, 3to, 1s, 3b, 0f in 16:30. She got offensive rebounds but the quick hands of the smaller Chileans took the ball away from her. She couldn't seem to get it cleanly so she could keep it high and put it right back up.
 
And a fourth nail biter by Brazil. 105-54 over Venezuela. Stephanie had 15 points and 6 rebounds in less that 15 minutes playing time. 3/3 from 2-pt range, 2/3 on 3's and 3 for 3 at the line. Acceptable, I guess.

Two players for Brazil have 21 minutes playing time everyone else played less than a half. Coach splitting up the time well.

Brazil just beat Venezuela by 51. Argentina (who will presumably beat Colombia tonight) beat Venezuela by 35 in group play. So it could be an interesting game tomorrow.

Argentina giving Brazil all it can handle. 31-23 Argentina lead at half. Soares 0 points, but has 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and a block. Brazil is shooting 18% from the field.

18%… get that number into the mid-30’s and see what happens.
 
Great stretch for Soares there:
3-pointer
Def reb
2-pointer
Def reb
3-pointer

You can tell the announcer is favoring Argentina. He is much more excited about their baskets.

But Brazil is sloppy with some of their play. Soures just hit a 3.
