Anyone have any experience in these for elementary kids?

This video did a good job explaining the above to me

12 basketball teams make it to the Olympics. I didn't realize the importance of this tournament in that regard until today. 7 teams from this tournament will make the Olympics based on their standings for their region. (France is in automatically because they are the host and the other 4 teams will be chosen from a 40 team qualifying tournament in 2024) The Americas and Europe get two entries. Africa, Asia, and Oceanna get 1 entry each. Thus while Japan is in the 'losers bracket' of this tournament, so are all the other countries in the Asia region. Their comeback win over Finland has put them into the driver's seat for qualifying for the Olymipics Current standings for Asia Japan - 2-2, -19 +/- China - 1-3, -73 +/- Lebanon 1-3, -90 +/- Philippines 0-4, -42 +/- Iran 0-4, -90 +/- Jordan 0-4, -93 +/- If I understand this correctly, all these teams play one more game and Japan clinches the spot with a win else with a loss they just need a better +/- than China or Lebanon. Seems like they've essentially clinched. Get ready for 5x5 Olympic basketball Keisei next year.

Japan beats Venezuela

It's pretty easy to tell the difference between an IPA and a light lager.

Venezuela

I'm wrong about this. Apparently there are "classification games" to determine rankings of the team not qualified to win the World Cup https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2023/competition-system#|tab=element_2_3

Australia went on a 24-7 run while Keisei was on the bench in the 2nd quarter to essentially put this game away at half time. On a positive note, time for Keisei to come back to Nebraska.

Seems like this contest is coming from a good place. No need to make it about some poll topic where people simply stated a preference. 26

I suspect the problem is that we're not set up to autodisplay links from x.com. If you had the same url with twitter.com instead, it would work

Germany is one of the bigger teams in FIBA and it looks like the Japanese team decided that Keisei wouldn't work against that height. Sunday's game vs Finland should be more competitive. If Germany can knock off Australia, Japan could potentially play Australia on Tuesday with a chance to advance. However, Australia is likely to beat Germany and is absolutely going to crush Japan. I'd assume Keisei is back by next weekend.

Give me Glynn Watson

Playing tomorrow morning vs Germany and the Wagner bros.

One thing to note that if Ullis is suspended for an entire season he does have another year of eligibility.

I think that his official title is Vice Chancellor, Director of Athletics. Sort of like how if you're a lawyer you're also technically a 'juris doctor' but people don't commonly refer to you as 'doctor'

With Carter leaving does that mean that UNL's athletics will revert back to being overseen by the UNL chancellor instead of the Nebraska President?
