The U.S. Men lost to, of all teams, Puerto Rico, in basketball by a tremendous 19 points. I didn't see this match, but in the wrap up commentators said the match was never even a contest. This doesn't pain me at all, as the U.S. team brought Alan Iverson to the fold. May they drop out completely in the preliminaries...
