Kay got tripped on his way to an open basket, no call which resulted in a tech to the bench.
Thybulle got called for an unsportsmanlike foul for a grab of the arm

Everyone got excited when the US lost to Nigeria and us in exhibition games.Jim05 wrote:I really don’t know what people were expecting. These guys are amongst the best players in the world whilst ours a cobbled bunch of NBA journeymen and hack league players. Brave effort in the first half but when the US finally decided to play it was only ever going to be a comprehensive loss

I never expected to beat them at all. Would be great but it’s just not going to happen in my lifetime.Mr Beefy wrote:Yes you do, the same as you were expecting. Doesn't stop people from wanting them to winJim05 wrote:I really don’t know what people were expecting.

This would be the equivalent of a SANFL team beating a AFL team, the gulf is just that wide

But it's good for Australian basketball, and generating greater interest.

We had beaten the USA in our last two games against them, albeit exhibition games but victories none the less and France beat them in the opening game of the Olympics.
Obviously we were well beaten today thoroughly outclassed but we still have a chance to create history for our country by winning our first medal in men's basketball at an Olympics or World Cup. Winning today would've just guaranteed it.
1996 Olympics - we lost to Lithuania in the bronze medal game
2000 Olympics - again we lost to Lithuania in the bronze medal game
2016 Olympics - we lost to Spain by one point in the bronze medal game

They will destroy France in the final and this is far from their best side too
