Overview

• Texas Longhorns women moved to 2-0 with Madison Booker leading all scorers with 18 points along with eight rebounds and six assists in a 70-61 win over host Canada.
• Canada’s under-23 women dropped to 1-1 after shooting struggles and a late Texas surge left them needing a victory over Puerto Rico to stay in medal contention.
• In the men’s bracket Canada bounced back from an opening loss with a 65-62 win over Georgetown, powered by Michael Nwoko’s athletic finishes and point guard Xaivian Lee’s timely threes.
• Nathan Mariano’s 27 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks fueled Brazil’s 85-78 upset of Canada and put Brazil in position to control its own seeding destiny when it meets Georgetown.
• Saturday’s matchups — Canada vs Japan in the men’s pool and Texas vs Brazil in the women’s — will determine who plays for gold on Sunday.
