Tip is set for 4:30pm and should be on firstrowsports. (link = banhammer).

The last spot for London is up for grabs and with both The Cornerstone and Brow not making the USA cut, the pressure of Hornets' representation in London rest solely on the shoulders of one, Al-Farouq Aminu.

I'll be pulling for him but watching that Nigeria team is some of the worst basketball I've ever witnessed. Won't be watching the game.

Don't watch the Olympics outside of USA, Spain, and France then.

It's all zone defense.

I have tip at 7:30 local which is 8 ET/7 CT

ETA: NBA TV has a broadcast scheduled for then. One can only assume it's this game.

Bastards changed the time up on me. It was set for 17:00 UTC when I checked it this morning (same time as the Nigeria/Russia game yesterday), now they bumped it back 2 and a half hours. So yeah, it's at 7 CT.

Quality is going to be lacking. It's essentially Aminu and Diogu vs. Garcia and Horford. I slightly favor the Dominicans. Don't know that they've ever qualified for the Olympics, and Calipari is the coach.

No quality, but should be a lot of ambition.

What a coaching staff: Coach Cal, Del Harris, and Rod Strickland

Edit: As far as names go that is.

NBA TV twitter says the broadcast is semifinal games, which would indicate yesterday's games. Guess we'll see later on.
