The US won by a score of 91–33.[5]

The US next faced Mexico. The opening quarter was close with the US leading by a single point at the end of the quarter.

Bueckers took seven shots and hit all seven to set a US single-game record for field-goal percentage.[5]

The final preliminary game for the US was against Puerto Rico. The US did not shoot well from the field, hitting only 31% of the shots.
