Here's the weird thing - Australia doesn't seem to have an U23 national team - just an U19 team. So I don't know if one is being specially constituted for this event? Or they've just recently created one?

However, this Palo Alto online article seems to suggest that Alanna is on the "Emerging Opals" team that is effectively an U23 team, that will be playing at the World University Games in Chinese Taipei, so presumably that same team would play in Japan against the US U23 team for preparation?

Edited to add: This article about Baylor guard Kristy Wallace suggests that the Emerging Opals for the 2017 World University Games is not the same team as the U23 National Team, as she had already made the former and then was "invited to try out for" the latter.

SO tl;dr who knows?
