    That was a crazy ending. They did not handle the end well at all, but it was a great effort.

        I'm starting to think the biggest upset of this tournament so far was Nigeria over Tunisia. I cant fathom how this team won a game.

        It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

              This Diagu kid would make a good 14th man.

                Just so were clear, the best first quarter any team has had so far was 28 points.

                USA is sitting on 41 with 90 seconds left.

                  they beat Lithuania and Greece in qualifying. most of their guys are former D-I at least. but this US team can blow you out at and make you look horrible any given time. nigeria's coaching is a little suspect too.

                  edit: holy **** though i just tuned in and thought it was first half...they seriously do quarters here? on pace for 196?

                      49 points!

                      The previous best first quarter was 28!

                        Leave it up to Westbrook to not know the situation and take a 2.

                            FYI, the team USA record is the 137 dream team II put on Russia in 1994.
