Now that US basketball is back of track, it's become a much more boring event. And that is very much a product of the success that Coach K and Colangelo have brought to the program (structure = success = destroy competition = boring). Can Team USA lose? Of course! Will they lose with this current system and great players that Team USA has? Doubtful.
Sometimes "boring" is good!
