    USA up 5 with 9 to go in game.

    Seems like they'll avoid the shocker, but not a good start or a good look.

    Wake up boys. No reason to not bring home gold, but you can't win by just walking onto the court.

    Is this game part of the Olympics, or is it a practice game?

    Yeah, exhibition, but still embarrassing.

    South Sudan is a 44 pt dog and they're up a point with :20 to go

    That was close! I love when I can enjoy a nail biter when there is nothing at stake and the Gators aren't involved lol.

    For those interested.

    LeBron scored w :08 left to put US up 1

    South Sudan had a great look on a 12' floater that barely missed, got an offensive board and missed a fairly easy put back, before AD got the rebound and secured the win

    This is what happens when you assemble a team based on "experience".

    Looking at the map, South Sudan is the far more hospitable half of the original country.
