June 27, 201115 yr The tourney starts on Thursday in Latvia. The USA is in the same group as China, Egypt, and Serbia. Team USA should lose to Serbia and China will give them a game. The only player that is doing well for Team USA is Hardaway, the head coach is Hewitt for George Mason. Team USA lost to the u20 Lithuanian team last night by 30, and Lt's u20 team is weaker than their u19 team which features Jonas Valanciunas. Team USA plays Lt's u19 team tomorrow night in another prep game before the WC begins, it could be a 40 point game! Edited June 27, 201115 yr by SportsGuy41017
June 27, 201115 yr I couldn't find a roster. Do you know where I can see one? I can't imagine it would be filled with the superstars that they could potentially have on the squad.

June 28, 201115 yr That is the worst US basketball team I've ever seen assembled. Whoever was in charge of this thing should be embarrassed. Only 3-4 of those guys are even better than average.

June 30, 201115 yr Author First games start in about 3 hours, USA starts at 9 AM eastern time Vs Egypt. If USA does not beat Egypt by around 50-60, they will be in trouble advancing in this tourney.
June 30, 201115 yr Author USA 115 Egypt 60 USA outscored Egypt by 30 in the paint, the problem with Egypt in the 1st and 4th was they just couldn't make a shot, they also only score 5 points in the first. From the field USA 57% Egypt 29%. McDermott Led the USA with 19. Next up, Serbia tomorrow, this should be the game that shows how well the USA will do in this tourney. USA=25-25-32-33 Egypt=5-24-15-16
July 1, 201115 yr Author USA 80 Serbia 78. Bad decisions at the end of the game for Serbia, the US was lucky to pull this game out.
July 2, 201115 yr Author USA 82 China 66. USA pulls away in the 4th and wins the pool, which was interesting. Also interesting was Croatia beat Lithuania yet loses to Korea, but Korea loses to Lithuania by 52.
