Here's a link- [URL="https://www.usab.com/history/national-team-womens/1995-96-usa-basketball-womens-senior-national-team.aspx"]1995-96 USA Basketball Women's Senior National Team[/URL] that will give you some perspective on who the real stars were.  I stand by my comments on Lobo, at 22, not a seasoned enough player vs. the others but fresh off of a great college season (think Christian Laettner/Anthony Davis) with high market recognition vs. the better and more established players, was put on the team over some better players because she was well known. Yes, it's that simple and it happens. What I think most of this board knows, in 1996, she was not 1 of the 12 best and is why she also sort of road the bench. That's all I am saying. She did play as you noted and my rebuttal was to our HuskyNan who noted the BYers thought Rebecca should have played more (like the Vol fans with Catchings). That's my comparison, if it offends your sensibilities or my other UConn fans, I am sorry as my intent is to show a more objective perspective.
