The USA Basketball Senior Women’s National Team wrapped up its training camp at American University with yesterday’s Fall Showcase, which was open to fans. USABasketball.com has a photo gallery and some video from the Fall Showcase, which included scrimmaging. Now, the National Team will turn its attention to Russia. 12 players from the training camp, including the Storm’s Sue Bird and Swin Cash, were selected to travel to Ekaterinburg, Russia. The U.S. women will compete in the 2009 Ekaterinburg International Invitational against host UMMC Ekaterinburg (the defending Russian Superleague champs, having knocked off Bird and Spartak last April) and two other European powers – MKB Euroleasing Sopron and USK Praha. The round-robin tournament tips off on Friday.
