The FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup Qualifiers start this Thursday for the United States, Belgium, Puerto Rico and Russia. The first three teams will play games in Washington while Russia will participate next week in the Dominican Republic due to visa troubles with the American government.
It also gives us one last opportunity to give former Washington Wizards forward Emma Meesseman a grand send-off before she plays for the Chicago Sky this summer. We’ll or I (even if that’s the case, I don’t care!) will try to have something on her every day this week through Friday at 6:30 p.
