There Is Absolutely No Truth to the rumor that Kia Vaughn is transferring to Maryland! Whoever is spreading such irresponsible lies should be ashamed! Ashamed!

Kia: Courtney, as far as I'm concerned, you should just keep your opinions to yourself. Sa'de is very happy at Maryland and if another player decided to follow her lead, that's no business of yours!
Harp: Kia, you are just too funny! I can tell already. . . it is going to be so great being your Check out the complete photo gallery of the USA U21 Basketball team's sightseeing in Moscow as they prepare for the FIBA World Championships.

[Note to our readers: You do realize we are joking about Kia? Her luggage was lost and an un-named Maryland player (who never travels without surplus wardrobe) was kind enough to come to Kia's rescue.]

Friday AM Update: The USA U21 team clawed its way back from a 16-point deficit to beat the Aussies this morning, 90-88, in a nailbiter of a game. Candice Wiggins led the Americans in scoring with 30 points, and the Terps' own Crystal Langhorne was a major contributor to the comeback and to the win, posting 24 points and 16 rebounds (10 offensive!).

Oh yea, go the Saphs! Unfortunately (in a way) it's not the strongest side we could have fielded. A number of the Gems girls (younger team) decided to stick with their own age group instead of playing up, as their worlds are running near the same time... They're still a strong group, but I don't expect them to pull an Opals or anything.
Oh man don't scare me like that.

Well, it was a lot closer then I expected. Awesome game from Kat MacLeod with 20pts and 8 assists.
It'll be ineteresting to see what the US team is like once they actually start to share the ball. If they learn to not be selfish, they'll not even come close to losing again, I dont think.
It was a very 'usual suspects' game from the Aussies though ... 5 players in double figures, all five of whome you'd be upset with if they didnt score in double figures.
I was surprised with the lack of time/success from both Duke and Francis however. I would have assumed they'd do much better.
