I thought this was really cool - it lists ALL the UCONN alums representing their countries, not just basketball.
Men's and women's hoops, field hockey, soccer, and even a Parylympian!! Our alums are representing 6 nations in total.

Sophomore Aaliyah Edwards, named 2020-2021 Big East Sixth-Woman of the Year in basketball, joins nine alums from UConn women’s basketball (including an assistant coach), two from men’s basketball, two from field hockey, and one from women’s soccer in representing six nations in the Summer Olympics that begin today. UConn will also be represented by its second-ever Paralympian in school history, and alumna Sue Bird will be one of two athletes to serve as flag bearers for the U.S. in the opening ceremonies on Friday July 23 – the first time two competitors have been chosen to lead Team USA into the Games.
