What happened
A fire alarm went off in the middle of the night at the hotel where most of the Women's Basketball World Cup teams were staying early Sunday morning. There was no fire, someone had pushed the emergency alarm button in the elevator, according to Australia coach Sandy Brondello. “That’s a what-if situation, isn’t it?” Brondello said smiling.
