Abrosimova shines in loss

Former UConn star Svetlana Abrosimova did everything she could to keep Russia undefeated in the Olympics but despite 16 points and a team-high nine rebounds Russia fell to Australia 75-55.

The win gave Australia the Pool A title meaning the Aussies would not face the U.S. until either the gold-medal or bronze-medal games.

The United States can wrap up an undefeated run through Pool B championship with a win over New Zealand. The game starts at about 10:15 a.m. Former UConn stars Diana Taurasi (averaging 10.5 points per game) and Sue Bird (4 points, 2 assists) have started every game for the U.S. Jessica McCormack, who transferred from Washington to UConn in the offseason, is averaging 2.8 points and 2.5 rebounds for the Tall Ferns.
