A multitude of players gathered in Colorado Springs with the hopes of making the roster for the USA Women’s World University Games Team. Out of the 33 players that tried out, here’s the list of the 12 players who made the team.
Swin Cash discusses her new book Humble Journey: More Precious Than Gold and much more in a wide-ranging interview with Marc Lamont Hill on HuffPost Live..
She will likely miss at least some of the 2013 WNBA season and the Silver Stars will have their work cut out for them this season.
She was Team USA's leading scorer and three point shooter in the Olympics. She also won her fourth straight Euroleague scoring title with Galatasaray in the 2011-2012 season and is playing with UMMC Ekaterinburg.
The fearsome foursome of Chiney Ogwumike, Skylar Diggins, Bria Hartley and Ann Strother etched their names in the USA basketball record book, earning the first-ever gold medal in the 3x3 World Championships in Athens.
Debuting in its first World Championships in Athens, Greece, 3x3 basketball might be something we all need to get used to-and fast-if FIBA has anything to say about it. Trying to make it an Olympic sport by Rio 2016, it's time for a taste of the game
After leading the 2012 Olympic field with a PER of 49.76, we're probably expecting Atlanta Dream wing Angel McCoughtry to return to WNBA action and dominate games as usual. However, the most...
Judging by the ratings during the U.S. women's basketball team's run to their fifth straight gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics, there was at least increased interest in watching them compared to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The United States' Candace Parker and France's Celine Dumerc headline eurobasket's All-Olympic women's basketball team. Here's a look at the list of 20 women:
It's hard to disagree with USA head coach Geno Auriemma's point that France was the team of the tournament - those weren't just gracious words from a coach who has wins to spare.
John Amaechi said of France's offensive performance in the third quarter, "Their scoring has gone from anemic to…something worse than that.” But was that really much worse than the second quarter? Yes.
The United States women's basketball team completed their "Drive for Five" in resounding fashion, dismantling France 86-50 in today's gold medal game.
Today's women's basketball games in London are for all the hardware. Up first in the action is the battle for bronze, to be followed by a new medal winner going against the old pros.
For the U.S., the formula for winning gold in the 2012 London Olympics is simple: defend, move the ball, patiently allow their depth overwhelm the opponent. But what might have to happen for France to challenge the U.S. or pull off the major upset?
Down one point to Australia with 3:12 left in the third quarter, USA coach Geno Auriemma made his first wave of subs reinserting Connecticut Sun center Tina Charles into the game along with Seimone...
(While some of us West Coasters slumber, add your thoughts about the game - and any of the quarterfinal action throughout the day - on this lovely thread, will ya?!) Now that everyone has five...
There are 38 current or former WNBA players dotting the Olympics rosters. There are 143 players on the rosters, so players with WNBA ties comprise over 26 percent of the women's basketball Olympians. Here's how they fared statistically in the prelims
Today marks the fifth and final time four of these 12 teams will compete in the 2012 Olympics. And heading into their final game three of those four already know they're bowing out early - Angola,...
Yesterday's game provided further evidence why the 3-point shooting woes are a weakness, but by no means a fatal flaw: while, "The USA struggled to find its shooting eye...its rebounders cleaned up the misses to tally 24 second-chance points."
Center Liz Cambage dunked in Australia's 70-66 win over Russia today, as already described by the AP.
Pool play is slowly winding to a close, with just two more games remaining in the Olympic competition for four of the 12 teams that started this journey less than a week ago at the Basketball Arena...
For the second consecutive game, it wasn't really until the second quarter when the USA women's basketball team really started to pull away from their opponent before eventually winning 89-58. And as usual, it was the bench who led the way.
There are two basketballs venues that will be used in the 2012 Olympics. The first is the Basketball Arena, a.k.a. "The Mattress", where the preliminary rounds are being played. The second is where the finals will be held & where the gymnastics are.
Add your thoughts throughout the day on any and all of the action from London! The third day of pool play competition commences from "The Mattress" as the demarcation line between those who will...
As USA coach Geno Auriemma said after the game, gelling has been a bit of a challenge for this team simply because they haven't had the time together as a unit like other teams have. Nevertheless, they showed signs of progress.
Unfortunately, Australia lost this one 74-70 to France after that Belinda Snell shot sent the game into overtime, as Dan Devine of Yahoo! Sports has already described in a summary of the day's...
