LAS VEGAS Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale smiled broadly but didn t take the bait. After she helped Team WNBA beat Team USA 93-85 Wednesday and won the league s All-Star Game MVP award, she didn t say, Yeah, maybe I should have been on the Olympic team when asked if that went through her mind. Y all be wanting some drama, Ogunbowale said, laughing, in her postgame video call after scoring a game-high 26 points. Good luck to Team USA. All those girls are deserving so . you know, hopefully they go win a gold medal.
The 24-year-old former Notre Dame star is likely to be on the U.S. team for the 2024 Olympics. But Wednesday, she and Team WNBA did their best to prepare Team USA for what the Americans will face in the upcoming Tokyo Games as they seek the program s seventh consecutive gold medal.
