I've looked on my cable box and the internet and the only place I see to stream is what newton mentioned above. BUT YOU HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR at least $30, no thanks...

The USA won 105-42. Rasheed finished with 12 points and 5 rebounds in 24 minutes and Julius Randle had 12 points and 8 rebounds in only 15 minutes. Shaq Goodwin had 30 points in 18 minutes.

For the US Virgin Islands, Khalid Hart, who goes to a high school in Delaware and is headed to Marist, had 12 points, and another Delaware high school player, Rashid Swanston had 11 points.

Here is the boxscore

Shaq had a Laetner type game, scoring 30 while not missing a shot.

[Dukeface88]

Shaq had a Laetner type game

I suspect this sentence has not been uttered in a very long time

[chrishoke]

Sheed with 7 points, 5 rebounds in another blowout win today. Purvis bounced back well with 13.

Do you know if he was used at PG or SG?

[chrishoke]

Couldn't tell from the box score.

[CDu]

Couldn't tell from the box score.

Nate Britt played 22 minutes and James Robinson 16, so I would venture to say that Sulaimon played primarily at SG.

USA 83 Brazil 64

Looks like a solid performance by Rasheed with 21+ minutes and 9 points.

15 points from Julius Randle; good stuff in international competition for a rising high school senior.

Canada 75 -- Argentina 68

Andrew Wiggins leads Canada to win with 19 points.

This appears to be an upset, at least based on historical comparisons, eh?

[awhom111]

If Wiggins is as good as he is supposed to be then history might not matter for this one. Canada is continuing to bring through solid basketball talent (and parking them in US high schools)

Those results leave the United States facing Argentina and Canada facing Brazil tomorrow, probably later in the day, although the times have not been annouced yet.

USA 107 -- Argentina 72

Big win for the American team; Rasheed had 14 points and the highest +/- stat (+25 when he was in) of any player in the game.

[awhom111]

Boringly, they will face Brazil again instead of getting a crack at Canada.

Brazil 66 -- Canada 62

Andrew Wiggins had 17 points in a losing cause.

The USA team will certainly be favored in the Gold Medal game, but Brazil will go all out in a quest for the championship before a home crowd.

Yeah, this might not actually be that boring (although I agree it would have been nice to face a different team, and Andrew Wiggins); it will be an important test of the players' maturity and Billy Donovan and his fellow coaches' motivational skills to make sure the US team doesn't take Brazil a bit for granted after beating them once. The fact that Brazil wasn't a pushover the first time will help, of course.

[ohiodukefan]

Duke recruit Rasheed Suliamon (14 pts) and Duke target Julius Randle (15 pts) led Team USA to a win over Argentina in the semi-finals of the U18 World Championship. Team USA will play Brazil for the Gold medal.

FIBA Live Stats

We are +6 at the half, have lots of 2nd chance points but are getting killed on the boards (?). If Brazil could shoot 2s and FT well, they'd be leading as they have 19 FT to our 3 but made less than 50%. Think we are shooting about 50% overall and Brazil shooting ~31% on 2 point FG. Back to the stats!
