Now, it's time to win or go home (or, more likely, wait around until the closing ceremonies).
After mostly cruising (for exception, see: Lithuania) through group play going undefeated with five wins, the U.S. men's basketball team's quest for the gold continues in the quarterfinals against Australia.
Out of five games in the group stage, four of the U.S. wins were blowouts. They had a record-breaking performance against Nigeria, scoring the most points in a single game in Olympic history with 156. The U.S. shooters went cold in their next game, however, barely avoiding an upset against Lithuania and then dominated Argentina in the final game 126-97.
Australia didn't look like it would even make it to the quarterfinals after dropping the first two games of group play to Brazil and Spain. Led by guard Patrick Mills, the Aussies reeled off three straight wins to advance to the next stage.
But now Mills, who was second overall in scoring in group play, will have to go against Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook.
Will the U.S. win another game with ease? Or will Australia pull off one of the biggest upsets of the Olympics?
