Future Villanova Wildcats point guard Jalen Brunson and his United States are through to the knockout stages after winning Group A with a 3-0 record. None of Iran, Croatia or Egypt were really able to test the Americans, but now the stakes are higher as they work towards a gold medal.
They'll get Argentia on Wednesday at 11:15am ET (live stream is embedded above), and should be able to take care of business rather easily. The South American team finished 0-3 in group play, losing to Turkey, China and Spain. They'll rightfully be huge underdogs.
