Pitt women's head basketball coach Suzie McConnell-Serio has her team one game away from a championship.
The USA U19 team she is coaching will play in the finals of the FIBA World Cup on Sunday against Russia. The game will be at 3:00 p.m. EST. That comes on the heels of a 73-66 win against Japan on Saturday. Before that, the U.S. knocked off France on Friday in the quarterfinals, 78-51.
McConnell-Serio's team played a tight first quarter with Japan leading by only two. But the Americans opened that up and got into halftime with a 14-point lead after Japan tied things up in the second quarter.
