Olympics Update
The people whose job it is to know/guess these things suspect the Cappie Pondexter will not be on the Olympic team. Hooray! The consensus is that the twelfth player will be Brittney Griner. Of course, if someone gets injured, Pondexter may be called as an alternate.
Speaking of injuries, Phoenix Mercury/Australian national team star Penny Taylor might have a partially torn ACL, which would keep her from playing until at least October. No WNBA season; no Olympics. That would be unfortunate for the Australian national team -- she's one of their best players.
Back to our national team: The WNBA's website has a nice breakdown of Team USA, and the USA Basketball site had quotes from Coach Auriemma and the players.
