After the whining and name calling settled down (hey, we invented the game. Perhaps the world should play by our rules), USA Men's basketball beat the supposed best team in the tournament and at the minimum made it very likely they will medal. I still haven't watched any of the Olympic's highlights, even though I have a monetary interest now, but from what I've read Argentina maybe the team that best matches up with the U.S. Are international teams used to playing back-to-backs? I would think that plays into the USA's advantage, though I doubt Brown has been using much of his bench. I'm actually much more worried about Argentina than the lamb in waiting which is Lithuania. With some luck, my second favorite nation will finish them off before the gold game.
