Group play in the FIBA U19 Women’s World Cup wound up as most Tucsonans were sleeping. Both of Arizona’s incoming freshmen were wrapping up 3-0 records in group play and preparing to move on to the round of 16, which will be played at more Tucson-friendly hours.
The round of 16 includes all of the teams that competed in the group phase, but matches them across groups based on placement in the previous round. The winners move on to the quarterfinals on July 26, while the losers will play in classification games for placement.
