Quoting coach Auriemma, USA women put themselves in a hole, the way they started the game and they weren't able to recover.
Tina Charles was fouled out early and Asjah Jones had similar troubles. Shooting wasn't at level and some unforced turnovers added as well.
The only really positive note comes from Britt Griner (22 pts, 8 reb, 3bs and 0 to).
Ros is anyway one of the best European club teams and their Belgian center Ann Wauters is a top world player.

More than one year after Crystal Langhorne was left out from the NT selection, it seems she definitely went into USAB oblivion.
Read this article of August 2010: http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/column...lle&id=5475190.
This year is a repeat of 2010.
Langhorne earned the WNBA All Star selection in 2011 for the second year in a row, she scored a career high 18.2ppg with a remarkable 53.4FG% but she's always a NT forgotten !
