Different day, same story. Team USA will play the heavy favorite in yet another match-up with an upstart African nation that is long on determination but short on ability, and I suspect this one will turn much the same as the Tunisia game. While Nigeria has slightly more talent and depth than their African counterparts, they are in no position to seriously challenge the embarrassment of basketball riches that will suit up in red, white, and blue jerseys. It's just not going to happen. Nevertheless, like always, all of these games count and each provides the Americans with another opportunity to work out some of the kinks before the medal round. Or in other words, with the final result of tonight's game essentially predetermined, the journey will be far more important than the destination.
