usa dismantles austrailia

Published Aug. 20, 2008

During an earlier exhibition game with the Aussies, the game was very close in a low-scoring affair.  This time, however, Team USA showed the world that it means business in the first medal-game of the '08 Olympics.  It was tight for the first half, but with dominant defense and hoarding the boards, Team USA eventually blew out Austrailia, 116-85. 

Coach K and Team USA are only 2 wins from gold.  GO USA!!!

With all of the talent on this team a caveman could coach them. (just kidding)Dealing with all of the over inflated egos must be a full time job. If they don't win they should all go apply for jobs at Walmart.

If it wasn't for coach K, I don't think team USA would have had this much success. It's the coach thats imposed the up-tempo fast break offense, and relentless defensive style of play. Why it almost reminds me of a couple of acc games this past season when UNC was doing just the same to Duke. Has K learned anything from old Roy? Go Heels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Go USA and Coach K!!!

OBD - you're right about that.....i have even heard Wade and Kobe both say that his team play philosophy is why they've been so successful!!! you gotta give the man props even if you don't like him.

i was listening to it on the radio, it was really close in the first half, I stepped away for a few and turned on the tv and they were up by 30 in the 3rd quarter, wow. Free throws are killing them though.

Great job TEAM USA :)

OBD-im not a duke fan but i do have respect for coach k. I really dont see any duke haters on this board. btw, some of these guys are already great defenders and its different playing on a team other than olympic team. I really cant wait till USA bring home the gold!

bosox - no doubt about it. Only the Duke/K haters are claiming that K has had no impact on this talent-laden team. Those who have an objective eye, however, can easily recognize that K has employed a ferocious defense that is allowing USA to kick some serious tail!

Great win!! Go TEAM USA!!!

loves me some K!!! and i love that he's been able to get these guys to put aside their NBA ego's and play as a team. it's basketball at it's finest IMHO.
