Man, they really got killed by Puerto Rico. Do you think the US will still win the Gold, or do you think it belongs to another country?

Well, Ed, if I`ve read it right, there`s still 4 games to go for the U.S. in the preliminaries, so still a chance.

And let`s face it, they are normally one of the contenders as far as I can remember for the gold. So, I`m not writing them off just yet, although they were beaten quite convincingly by Puerto Rico in their first match.

Attendance: 12000 USA 89- AUS 79 Start time 14:30

Men`s Basketball result for today, but certainly not an easy victory for the USA over Australia. For much of the time Australia were in the lead, but the US got it back.

Well, Ed, at least your Women`s team were successful.
