GW Hoops / JJ Update

Just an aside, but in case you missed it, JJ led Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH) to an upset over Belgium in the opening game of the 2023 EuroBasket Qualifiers. In what was called one of the greatest performances of the modern European basketball era, JJ finished with 44 points, 22 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Belgium, which is loaded with talent (Emma Meesseman, etc.), is the # 1 seed in the group, and had a furious rally to close the final gap to six, but trailed by at least 20 for a good portion of the game.

Wow..... wow!

Her senior year at GW I posited this was the player in Women's history, with the highest ceiling. Seeing something near that from the MVP of the sport. A transcendent talent, and GW graduate.
