That's a scary thought for the U.S. women's basketball team's second round opponent.
"Watching us the first three games, when our offense is moving, we're very good. When we're standing around, it's not so good," Auriemma said. "We've only had one practice together before they played, tomorrow will be our second. Hopefully we'll fix some of those things."
Even when the offense wasn't clicking the defense carried them. The U.S. had only three points in the first 8 minutes against France, before pulling away for an 81-60 victory on Saturday in the women's basketball world championships.
Candice Dupree and Tina Charles each added 10 points for the Americans (3-0). Dupree is shooting a sizzling 84 percent from the field in the first three games.
"She really is amazing," Catchings said. "You look at her face and she's emotionless. She scores and has the same expression."
