Geno thought, "It went kind of predictable. The national team players, with their experience, their savvy, being there before, were able to take advantage of the younger guys to a certain extent. [The younger players] are still a little bit antsy, but they’re going to be okay. I was impressed by how hard they work."
This is what Kayla had to say:
On scrimmaging against USA Women’s National Team players:
I thought it was a lot of fun. It was great to get on the floor with those people that I have watched not my entire life, but throughout college, and run up and down a little bit and get some shots up; it was a lot of fun.
How do you feel you played?
Not too well. I would have liked to have done a little more. I’m just bummed that I missed that game-winning shot I had at the end of the scrimmage.
Was scrimmaging against national team players what you expected?
Yeah, I mean they are all incredible talented players, and you have to play all of them. You have to guard all of them at this level. I don’t think it was too much for us rookies to handle, so I’m really looking forward to playing against them again tomorrow.
Here is the full report from USA Basketball and a photo gallery of the practice sessions.
