Hardly a serious challenge. This game was not highlighted in NBC primetime. That is a good measure of popularity with the general public. With Caitlin Clark on the team it would have been broadcast in primetime -- guaranteed. Women's USA basketball is an Olympics backwater, not popular like gymnastics, swimming, track and field. Horrible missed opportunity to elevate WBB on a world stage.

Just stupid to bring 1 point guard. If you did not want CC, bring someone you like. Just a poor selection process. Almost half the team was coming back from injury or has been injured in July. They will win a Gold and not change how they pick this team in the future. They will not self evaluate. This first thing I would do is talk to Arike Ogunbowale. I would want to know why she felt like she was not going to get a fair shake and withdrew her name. We all know when we are going to get passed over for an award or a job. Tell tell signs. I am sure Arike was correct. If they wanted CC they would have held a private tryout with her the following weekend or delay it by a weekend. I believe she was the only college player that was being looked at.

Team USA was so much bigger than team Japan's players it was comical the size difference. Problem is Clark would be breaking olympic records on and off the court. Nit only did they miss on massive attention and growing the sportmclark also missed out on potentially historic performances and breaking assist records easily. Team USA playing Japan was not competitive. They shot horribly from 3 and dominated the tiny teammin the paint. Japan missed too many open shots they created. None of these teams are good enough to beat team USA. Anyone with size would dominate Japan unless they start making shots.

There has never been a question of "are other teams more talented than the USA?" because they aren't. The question has been, "Would you rather watch a team with Caitlin passing the ball or someone else?" Your take of "the implication of not taking CC is nothing" is not correct. The implication is event ticket sales. The implication is television viewership. The implication is WNBA international marketing. They would be worse off with CC on the team? Only a drooling idiot could imagine that is the truth (or a zealot who is not interested in truth). You are looking at wins and losses. But there is a lot of basketball between the tip-off and the horn. So let's ask Mick, what you you rather see, CC out there for 18 minutes and Reese getting ten minutes of run cleaning the rack or watching the existing team. We want fun. We want pizzazz. We want razzle-dazzle. A soaring David Thompson sky-walker dunk counts two points, just like a Moses Malone put-back. Which one would you rather see? Grey is still injured but OK. It's easy to get a lot of assists against Japan. A team that knows Grey can't run with tall, talented players will provide a better test. But in the end, the USA team will beat the other women and go home smug, thinking they proved something,
