Chicago’s coaching staff, under head coach Tyler Marsh, emphasized defensive intensity and improved ball movement during training camp scrimmages leading up to the Brazil game, with veteran guards Courtney Vandersloot and Kia Nurse orchestrating the offense and rookies integrating quickly into the rotation.

Brazil’s next stop in its U.S. tour will be an exhibition against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Sunday at the University of Iowa’s arena in Iowa City, where Clark starred in college.
