As we’ve come to expect over the years, there’s always a strong UConn women’s basketball contingent among the group competing for a roster spot on the USA Basketball Women’s National Team.
Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Tina Charles, Breanna Stewart, Morgan Tuck and Napheesa Collier are the former and current members of the Huskies to be named part of the 16 finalists for the 12-man roster. Presently, Bird and Stewart are playing in the WNBA Finals and will join the team before the tournament starts on September 22 in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
