Team USA Basketball

Men's or Women's team. It doesn't matter but they are so dominant it becomes boring by the start of the fourth quarter.

I can't turn it off though because it's pure entertainment.

Re: Team USA Basketball

Think the International game is becoming more like the NBA game. That makes it easier for the USA. Having Bron and Kobe play team ball doesn't hurt either!!!

I don't seem to have any trouble turning it off at any point!

They have an HD Channel devoted to Olympic Basketball. The problem is, they only show a schedule. The games are on live late night, early morning, but they do not seem to replay during hours when most people are home.

Re: Team USA Basketball

The Team USA games have been shown live on USA or the Olympic Basketball Channel if you have satellite. I've been catching them live at 7 a.m. central time.

If you go to NBC.com and find the link to their Olympic coverage then you can find a half-a$$ t.v. schedule. I think ESPN also has a link showing t.v. coverage.

The women's semi-final game is on Thursday morning and the men's semi-final should be on Friday morning.

Re: Team USA Basketball

I think it is less the international game is mirroring the American game and more of the fact that Coach K would not care in the least to bench someone if they do not play his style of team-game.

As for the women, they are incredible.
