The Olympics are underway and the U.S. women's basketball team, coached by UConn's Geno Auriemma and featuring five of his former players met with the media today in Rio.
I'm not there to cover the Olympics unfortunately but thanks to the folks at USA Basketball, I can pass along what Auriemma, Sue Bird, Tina Charles, Maya Moore, Breanna Stewart and Diana Taurasi had to say.
