Women's Basketball

[Marshal Davout]

I don't usually watch Basketball; but in a strange twist the US Olympic Women's Basketball Team has already lost a game to the Women's National Basketball Team's All Stars 117-109; which doesn't seem to bode well for the Olympics ! And three of the WNBA team members, Caitlin Clark; the wonder rookie, Angel Reese, her erstwile opponent who seems to like to foul her, and Arike Ogunbawale has scored 34 points against them earning the MVP of the game. All three girls were in consideration for the team; but were not selected for one reason or another ?
The Olympic selectors say they selected a team which plays well together rather than whoever can score the most points; although that may come back to haunt them ! Both Caitlin and Angel said they hoped to be on the 2028 team !
