Theres so many different restaurants and places for us to hang out. Its big, but not too big.Both teams have spent the last few weeks crisscrossing the country on pre-Olympic exhibition tours. They piled up easy victories in those contests, but the travel was starting to get to them.When you spend eight nights in five different hotels its tough to get into a routine, Auriemma said. Now were in the same place for a while and can focus on our goal.The U.S. women had a light practice before speaking to the media Wednesday evening while the mens team had an optional shootaround after arriving on a charter flight from Houston.

Taurasi, Sue Bird, Tamika Catchings and Carmelo Anthony -- all four-time Olympians -- were on those squads.Ive never been on a cruise, Taurasi joked.

So this has kind of almost been like normal for my Olympic experience.Winning gold medals has been normal for the American women, who will be trying for a sixth consecutive one in Rio. Theyve won 41 straight Olympic contests.We never take it for granted when we come to the Olympics, three-time gold medalist Sue Bird said.The men will be attempting to win a third straight gold medal.

I mean, really good, Krzyzewski said.The men play their first game Saturday against China and the women begin Olympic play Sunday versus Senegal.Well have a chance to get a few days of consistent practice now, said first time Olympian Elena Delle Donne, who made a few headlines when she talked openly about her fiancee Amanda Clifton in an upcoming story in Vogue magazine. It was great to get some shots up and get our legs under us.To the reigning WNBA MVP it was no big deal discussing her relationship in the magazine during an interview she said was done several months ago.It was just one of those articles where they came into my home, spent a couple days with me and Amanda is a huge part of my life, the reigning WNBA MVP said. So to leave her out wouldnt have made any sense. Its not a coming out article or anything. Ive been with her for a very long time now and people who are close to me know that.Delle Donne said she and Clifton got engaged on June 2.I dont plan on having our relationship out in the public and all this media on it, Delle Donne said, but obviously theres excitement right now because people see it for the first time.---AP Basketball Writer Brian Mahoney contributed to this story.
