Stewie not at the "UCONN" table...?

They seem focused and snickering about something... Maybe they were watching Geno negotiate with a Turkish bus driver.

Sometimes. But, they need her to post up, too.

For some reason, I expected more luggage.

I noticed that.....and am also vexed.

It isn't like she attended North Carolina.

Wonder how comfortable Taurasi feels being back in Turkey.

DT to the assembled UConn alumni: "Stewie actually thinks we can't see her behind that post!"

No joke that.... Wonder if they do drug tests for this tournament? Anyone know?

Here's an old article about drug testing at FIBA World Cup (2010).

BYW in my googling around I ran across an article that said the NBA has a deal with FIBA that NBA players are exempt from FIBA drug testing. That is in conflict with what this article says.

Also didn't find anything about chromosome testing
