Former UConn teammates Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi along with Tennessee legend Tamika Catchings were named to the U.S. Olympic women's basketball team for a fourth time as they headline the 12-member team announced on Wednesday morning.
Lisa Leslie, who appeared in the 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008 Olympics, and Teresa Edwards, who was a part of five straight Olympic squads from 1984-2000, are the only other U.S. women's players to make at least four U.S. Olympic teams.
The team has an unmistakable UConn flavor to it. Tina Charles and Maya Moore will be playing in the Olympics for the second time while Breanna Stewart is the youngest member of the team.
