Womens basketball time

 Wow quite the day from Canada's group. First game had Japan beat Canada 86-82 to put themselves into the Olympics. Canada needed Spain to beat Hungary to qualify (Spain qualified with Canada loss to Japan). For about two and a half to three quarters it wasn't looking good. Hungary was up by 22 at one point. Spain mounted a furious comeback and beat Hungary 73-72.  Wow. Devin Heroux was all over this.  Canada joins Japan and Spain at the Paris Olympics. The ladies join the mens team. First time both basketball teams will be at the Olympics since 2000. So quite the day.
