de Jesus, Philippines Women’s National Team to Open FIBA Women’s Asia Cup Against Australia
6/24/2023 2:16:00 PM | Women's Basketball
DURHAM – Duke women's basketball senior guard Vanessa de Jesus and Gilas – the Philippines Senior Women's National Team – are set to embark on their quest for FIBA gold as the team prepares to open 2023 FIBA Women's Asia Cup action against host country Australia on Monday, June 26 at 5:30 a.m. ET.
The FIBA Women's Asia Cup is slated for June 26-July 2 at the Quay Centre in the Sydney Olympic Park in Sydney, Australia. With a good showing in Sydney, de Jesus and Gilas will keep themselves in Division A of the tournament.
de Jesus continues to receive a lot of buzz since making her official announcement back on June 13 that she'd be joining Gilas ahead of the Asia Cup, as she was featured in the FIBA Women's Asia Cup player rankings released on Saturday – with the Valencia, Calif., product checking in at No. 10 on the list.
Following the matchup with Australia, Gilas – part of a difficult Group B – will face five-time defending FIBA Women's Asia Cup champions Japan June 26 at 11:30 p.m. ET, before closing out group play with a matchup versus Chinese Taipei on June 27 at 11:30 p.m. ET.
All games can be live streamed via Courtside 1891 here, with postgame press conferences available live on the official FIBA Media YouTube page 15 minutes following the conclusion of the game.
Classification and qualifying games commence the final phase of the event on June 30, with the semifinal (July 1) and final (July 2) to follow.
