Tay’s poise will be equally important as her scoring:she and backcourt mate Brogan Berry, this year’s Ivy Rookie of the Year, will have to keep turnovers low against the full and half-court pressure that the Red Storm will bring from the opening...

Consistently, the US swung the ball crisply in the half-court game, found the open man, and then nailed long-range jumpers: Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Tayshaun Prince (three of four) and Deron Williams all made three pointers. Overall, Team USA shot...
