Canadian Women's Basketball and current UConn Huskies guard Kia Nurse got to spend three days watching her rival, USA Basketball, practice in the same training facility that she does.

Nurse then helped lead Canada to an Olympic berthwith they won the FIBA Americas Olympic qualifying tournament over Cuba.
