After today, there is only one game left in the Group stages.
In Group A, Argentina is 4-0 and Serbia is 3-1. They play tomorrow. Serbia is still the only team that has scored more points than the USA, and they are the only team with a point differential better than ours.
In Group B, the USA is 4-0 and Slovenia is 3-1. We killed Slovenia, and just barely beat Brazil, but today Slovenia beat Brazil. Go figure.
In Group C, Turkey (the tournament host) is 4-0. Greece and Russia are both 3-1. Greece and Russia play tomorrow. For the record, I will be surprised if the Americans beat Turkey in Turkey.
In Group D, Lithuania is 4-0 and France is 3-1. I still think Spain is very dangerous, even though their record is only 2-2. As far as I can tell from the extremely complicated diagrams on the FIBA web page, we are on pace to play Spain in the quarter-finals, and that could easily be the end of our road.
GROUP A:
Serbia 94 - 79 Australia
Germany 88 - 92 Angola
Argentina 88 - 79 Jordan
GROUP B:
Croatia 84 - 64 Tunisia
Iran 51 - 88 USA
Brazil 77 - 80 Slovenia
GROUP C:
China 80 - 89 Russia
Ivory Coast 60 - 97 Greece
Turkey 79 - 77 Puerto Rico
GROUP D:
Canada 61 - 71 New Zealand
Lebanon 57 - 91 Spain
Lithuania 69 - 55 France
