Minnesota Lynx guards Lindsay Whalen and Candice Wiggins have been added to the player pool for the U.S. women's basketball national team.
Whalen and Wiggins were among 12 players announced as candidates Wednesday for the 2010 World Championship team and the 2012 Olympic team. That brings the pool to 20 players, including eight gold medalists from the 2008 Olympics. Lynx teammate Seimone Augustus is one of the returners.
Minnesota Timberwolves forwards Al Jefferson and Kevin Love were recently named as national team candidates on the men's side.
As for Whalen's old team?
The Gophers will play Penn State in the Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis on Thursday afternoon. Minnesota finished last in the conference this season.
