But Maryland women’s basketball sophomores Ashley Owusu and Diamond Miller really didn’t expect receiving the invitation to the USA Basketball Women’s AmeriCup Team trials in South Carolina this past Sunday through Wednesday. They figured that kind of thing wasn’t happening in a year like this.
The USA team will face nine other national teams from North, Central and South America in Puerto Rico from June 11 to 19, hoping to become one of the four that advances to the 2022 FIBA World Cup Qualifying Tournament and then the 2022 FIBA World Cup in Australia.
Twenty top college basketball players earned the honors, 10 of whom have garnered 21 gold medals for USA Basketball teams in the past.
