How will things go? Saw an interview on Cold Pizza from Gilbert Arenas, basically said Coach K was a good coach, would do fine in the NBA, and put a big emphasis on representing America. Brought in soldiers to inspire the team and try to get them to go the extra mile on the court to do their nation, and it's soldiers proud. Sounds pretty hopeful to me. USA all the way.

I'm satisfied so far with the game against Puerto Rico. USA seems to have adapted well to International Basketball and Coach K's style of defense. Good play by this team, things are looking good for the upcoming tourney.

Well as I type this things are looking good, the U.S. is up 38 points. They'll definately have tougher games, but they looked pretty good after they got settled down.
