RIO DE JANEIRO — Geno Auriemma and Diana Taurasi shared a long, emotional embrace. Mission accomplished.

The dominant U.S. women's basketball team did what was expected, winning a sixth consecutive Olympic gold medal and doing it in impressive fashion. In yet another rout, the U.S. dismantled Spain 101-72 on Saturday.

“Congratulations to the USA Women’s basketball team. Another gold medal for the USA.”

Yes! The men should win as well, but it hasn’t been a cake walk for them.

I hope so (that the men’s basketball team wins Gold too). Coach K should bring these guys through.
