2020 Olympics: Meesseman and Belgium go on a strong fourth quarter run to beat Australia, 85-70

The Belgium women’s national basketball team blew out Australia, 85-70 on Tuesday afternoon in their first Group C match in the 2020 Olympics.

Most WNBA fans probably anticipated that the Australia would beat Belgium because of FIBA ranking or more familiarity with their players. We here at Bullets Forever, or maybe just I happen to zig when everyone else zags. I thought it would be a close game, but I also thought Belgium would win. I too am surprised at how it all happened.

Washington Mystics forward Emma Meesseman scored 32 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and dished 5 assists in the win.
