Former UConn star Diana Taurasi arrived in Hartford and took part in pre-game drills so it looks as if she will suit up for the U.S. No sign of her Phoenix Mercury teammate Candice Dupree but she wasn't expected to arrive in Connecticut by game time.

Taurasi made her first appearance with 1:26 left in the third quarter, drawing a huge ovation from the crowd.

The U.S. won the exhibition game 89-56, led by UConn's Maya Moore's 16 points.
