Well, ouch. A little sympathy for the Texas A&M team. The National team made the best of their two day rest period and game out like gangbusters on defense. TAMU scored 26 points. Total.

The final was 75-24, with minutes spread around equally. Braxton showed her skill she seems unable to deliver consistently (8/12 and 18pts), including a three. ("Oh, man," said Taurasi. "When Kara took like nine steps and shot the 3-pointer we knew it was in the bag.") Swin seems to be regaining her form (5/7 in 19 minutes), Lisa was typical form and Augustus wss...well... on fire -- as she has been this entire tour.

The US out rebounded the Aggies 50-26 (though half of the 26 were offensive), limiting them to 17% shooting (no threes).

Next up for the National team: USC on the 13th.

Think Lisa will be hyped for her homecoming?
