Shoni Schimmel and the basketball WUGs will be taking to the court Friday morning in the medal quarterfinals.  Teams win the medal rounds are competing for 1-8th place. 

Team USA will face Sweden at 10:30 a.m. to open this round of play.  Also playing will be Australia vs Canada, Russia vs. Czech Republic and Taiwan vs. Hungary. 

You can follow updates through www.usabasketball.com.   The first opportunity to watch Team USA will be on Saturday, July 13 at 1:00 and 10:00 p.m. in the semifinals on ESPNU.  I believe the foregone conclusion is that Team USA will make it to the semi’s round.   Should Team USA advance to the gold medal game, that too, can be seen on ESPNU, Monday, 7/15.

Several members of the team have been invited to attend the ESPY’s.  From what I can tell both Shoni Schimmel and Bria Smith will be in attendance.  Schimmel will arrive back in the States on 7/16 and will fly out to LA for the awards ceremony on 7/17.  I have read somewhere that 4 players were invited to attend, should I track down the names of the other two we will let you know.
