Olympic Basketball

After losing to Puerto Rico, and then again to Lithuania, The not so Dream team appears to be the presumptive underdog against Spain in today's qauterfinal. Spain is looking strong after going 5-0 in the peliminaries and is favored among most as the team to beat.

The U.S, alternatively, has looked flat and suffered from a lack of consistent perimeter shooting. Eking out paltry wins against Greece and Australia, the U.S's recent 89-53 drubbing of Angola may bode well for their match-up against Spain-- not to mention the emotional motivation of being considered an underdog.
