[mred]

72-66 Hungary with 1:44 left and Spain ball.

Suddenly 72-71 with 1:22 left

Spain made two free throws to go up 73-72 with 55 seconds left.

The teams trade missed shots and the game ends. Spain wins 73-72. Canada is somehow in the Olympics.

Brazil vs Germany at 5 p.m. CT. I think it's winner in/loser out.

Australia 3-0
Germany 1-1 (-26)
Serbia 1-2 (-2)
Brazil 0-2 (-12)

The point differential tiebreaker is only for games the tied teams are involved with. I broke down the scenarios earlier in this thread -- Brazil needs to win by at least 8, or win by 7 and score at least 74 points (if I did my math right).

Brazil lost, 73-71. Finished 0-3, and will not qualify.

A brief primer on the whole Julie Vanloo saga:

The full timeline:

• Vanloo signed LOI with ISU in Spring 2011, although it was always a possibility she might play pro instead https://cyclones.com/news/2011/4/13/205135929.aspx
• NCAA didn't clear her to play in 11-12 season
• Instad of going pro, Vanloo attended a Belgian university in 11-12 while NCAA issue was sorted out: https://cyclones.com/news/2011/7/28/205213892.aspx
• NCAA apparently cleared her to play starting in 12-13 season
• Vanloo opted to go pro, signing a pro contract around July 2012: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/vanloo-2012.124318/page-3

I love it - a bunch of you WBB regulars were already getting it done in July 2011, including but not necessarily limited to: mred, TwistedRedBird, CycloneRulzzz, RoyalClone, Acoustimac, StClone and BoxterCy. It's enjoyable to read the old threads...

Not that anyone cares where I was in 2011, but I had three kids in high school. I didn't have much time for ISU WBB in those days...
