It appears that you'll be able to live-stream the Team Curry games on YouTube.

Nope. Games will be on Periscope instead.

I'm able to see the first game here on my laptop:

Two more convincing wins for Midwest Elite today. They actually led 29-0 in their final pool game, and followed that up with a 24-pt win over the winner of the adjacent pool.

Team Curry finished 1-2 today. Both losses were could-have-gone-either-way-nail-biters against very good comp. TC coasted to victory in their other game.

They've also upgraded their lineup quite a bit versus last year's Team United squad, I think. Good showing today against some very high caliber teams.

Kudos to Mallorie's mom for streaming the games on Periscope and providing time and score more than John Kilgo ever did, and without a hint of the homerism you used to get from him. Absolutely no bias today. None.

Midwest Elite/Kelby will be on the court these next four days at the USJN Premier Showcase in the Indianapolis area. Two of their five opponents are also EYBL teams, so perhaps we'll see some closer, more fun games. First game is this evening at 7:30 pm, ET, I presume.

I found clues on Twitter that teams from Peak Performance (Tomisin's club) played in the Atlanta area last weekend. But that's all I found.

Team Curry/Mallorie won't be back at it until late July, it appears.

Correction: Team Curry will be in Atlanta next weekend for the 28.5 War Games.

Midwest Elite by 3 over the mighty Philadelphia Belles EYBL team last evening. Great win for @mwehoops.

[chantillycat]

Two more wins for Midwest Elite, by 12 and 10 over solid teams from Michigan and Iowa. A 33-3 run in which Kelby played a significant role turned that 2nd game around.

One up, one down yesterday for Midwest Elite. The loss was by 4 pts to a very athletic team from Ohio.

This is what can happen when you suddenly find yourself with a target on your back.

Still, I believe Kelby's team still won their pool due to tiebreakers, and they'll play a game or two today (hopefully two) against top teams from other pools.

MWE won this morning's semi, 42-40, against that same team from Iowa they beat in an exhibition game two days ago. That Iowa team swept through their own pool, winning by an average of 31 pts.

MWE closed today's game on a 14-0 run to steal the win. They'll face what figures to be an even better team from Iowa in the finals.

They'll face what figures to be an even better team from Iowa in the finals.

Quite a bit better, it turns out.

Good showing for @mwehoops at this event, though. Second place overall across the four strongest pools. And great experience for Kelby, competing with and against these players.

71-47. Never close.

Correction: Team Curry will be in Atlanta next weekend for the 28.5 War Games.

July 10th thru 12th, Friday thru Sunday. I believe that Tomisin's team will also be there.

[chantillycat]

Tomisin's and Mallorie's games at the War Games event will be broadcast on BallerTV, which requires a subscription.

It appears that Mallorie's games will also be viewable on Periscope, and at a price you'll like.

Schedule for Team Curry's first four games are in the tweet, starting with today's 11 am opener.

Edit: Alabama Southern Starz does not acronymize well.

[i77cat]

How did their opening game go? Next game is tonight, right?

[chantillycat]

Team Curry/Mallorie over Alabama Southern Starz, 59-50. Team Curry was in control the entire 2nd half. Much more patience from them compared to two weeks ago -- figuring out how to play against this higher level comp, and getting more familiar with each other.

Peak Performance Miller/Tomisin lost 54-44 to one of the FBC teams that beat Team Curry two weeks ago. This game was very close well into the 2nd half.

Upgraded lineup for Peak Miller, IMO. Improved handles and paint attacking in the half court from Tomisin. And I was happy to see her put on a mask when the game ended.

Here are the schedules, including the two games already played. Team Curry's game tonight is an inter-pool exhibition game. Team Curry lost to that same team two weeks ago. Again, that one will likely be available on Periscope.
