Nneka is wonderful:
"Having this gold medal is symbolic of the hard work we put in as a team -- as a family -- "

and

"As the confetti fell and the anthem rang out, I realized that I'd learned what really drives the winning edge: camaraderie, leadership and selflessness"

camaraderie, leadership and selflessness

That should be added to the UConn locker room wall, if it isn't there already.

Thank you Nneka

It was great to see her play on this team - she certainly earned it! A truly lovely, talented, smart, hardworking young woman. I would not be surprised to see Chiney join her in the future and have a sister act on the National Team.

Nneka---should have had Geno in college--what it takes to win. I loved Nneka's play on the USA team, her demeanor showed she belonged there. Give Geno credit for recognizing what she brought to the team of Champions. Great commentary from a great champion.

I was surprised that Chiney was not accepted, this time, for the USA team. She is talented and energetic the only missing attribute was EXPERIENCE at this level. But believe on the 2016 team you shall see Chiney. I was not impressed by Sims, her play seemed self centered and a bit out of control--but that's just me.

Nneka is just great. Another fine ambassador for the league.

It struck me that her comment that she learned what gives one the winning edge are the things the UConn women learn (or get reinforced) in college and bring to the national team. Camaraderie, leadership and selflessness are what define this program.

It probably came down to Stewart or Chiney. Although Chiney wasn't one of the last ones cut, committee probably knew baring some unforeseen circumstances, they knew they were keeping Stewart when Chiney was cut. Although it wasn't necessary, it was probably Stewart's shooting that was the difference.
