Recently both Jakia Brown-Turner and Elissa Cunane joined other top women’s college basketball players to compete for spots on the USA squad that will compete this summer in the AmeriCup, which is a tournament involving 10 countries from North and South America.
Brown-Turner and Cunane are among the 13 finalists for the final 12-person Team USA roster; the players who make the final roster will head to training camp at the start of June, and the event begins June 11.
Now, why they needed to announce a 13-person list of finalists rather than simply announce the 12-person final roster, I do not know.
