USA lost consecutive games to Australia and Canada the past 2 days and will finish no better than 9th place. Ouch.

We lost to Canada? In basketball?

They're very, very good actually. Canada over the last couple years has been growing a lot in basketball. This particular team has Kevin Pangos, Melvin Ejim, Brady Heslip, Kyle Wiltjer, Jordan Bachynski, Dwight Powell, etc. Lots of very good college players. And, the next "LeBron" Andrew Wiggins is from Canada.

Also, apparently the Canada team went on a foreign trip together this year and have been playing together all summer while USA has played together for less than 2 weeks.
