Congrats are in order for former LSU Lady Tigers Seimone Augustus and Sylvia Fowles, who were among nine women named to the 2008 United States Women's Basketball Olympic Team that will be favored to win the gold medal at this year's Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

The duo were the backbone of the LSU program over the last half decade as the Lady Tigers tied an NCAA record with five consecutive Final Four appearances. Each now plays in the WNBA.

Good for them and I'm sure they'll represent LSU well. Geaux USA!
