Re: 2004 USA Olympic basketball team selections

Agreed! I think Australia should have a pretty good team and it is no
coincidence that the MVP of last year's WNBA was Australian. Though the US
defeated Australia handily in the 2002 Women's Basketball Olympic final,
76-54, I would think that they have improved quite a bit and the US team
should be on its toes. Need we mention the 1972 Men's Basketball Olympic
team, though I know in our minds, they really won that game, twice!
