This morning will feature two good matchups in the Olympic men’s basketball semifinals. Three of these four teams will medal, but only one can take home the gold.

 

The United States looks like the favorite out of this bunch after blowing out every team in Group B, including Greece and Spain. Tomorrow, the US will face Argentina, who won the previous Olympic match between the two teams during the semifinals in 2004.
