Updates from Paris: STEW’JA, USA’s path in 3x3 and can the Opals Advance in 5x5? | WNBA Podcast

Locked On Women's Basketball – Daily Podcast On The WNBA

Note: This episode was recorded before USA beat Canada in 3x3 pool round on Friday afternoon.

Host Jackie Powell is joined by SB Nation’s Noa Dalzell to break down what has stood out in Olympic women’s basketball. First, they discuss what they took away from Team USA’s 87-74 victory over Belgium on Thursday in 5x5. What is STEW’JA and why is it unique?

Next, Noa explains where Team USA stands in 3x3. Can the Americans make it through to the next round? Later, Jackie and Noa preview why Group B in 5x5 (which includes Australia and Nigeria) is the one to watch this weekend
