USA men vs. Romania
8:30am eastern (Sunday)
rot# 617

over 154.5
The USA just lost to Lithuania 76-74 and now play Romania. The USA is fast paced and has played 175, 155, 180, 188 and 178 point games in their first 5 games. Romania has played low scoring games vs. Germany and the weak UAE but did play 87-71 (158) with Czech and 98-80 (178) with China.

Romania gets points from Moldoveanu, Nicoara and Mandache while the USA hopes to shoot better than 5-30 from 3's. There should be a nice opportunity for an over and all we need is for Romania to make a few baskets.

over 154.5

USA women vs. Chinese Taipei/Taiwan
9:30am eastern (Sunday)
rot# 579

pick: Taiwan +37.5

Both teams are undefeated and play for the gold medal on Sunday morning. The USA is led by Delaware's 6'5" Elena Delle Donne. They have steamrolled some teams by crooked scores. Taiwan beat Sweden by 1 in the semifinals while the USA beat Australia by just 12. Now USA and Taiwan play for the gold medal. The USA may win by 40+ but the game will be played in China and the fans will be pulling hard for the underdog. The USA will be happy to get ahead and win by 20 to 30 points.

At +37.5, you start the game up 37.5 to 0.

Chinese Taipei/Taiwan +37.5

Wish I'd have gotten up sooner or stayed up later to go 2-0.....I'll settle for 1-0 I guess.

I was just typing in the two teams names into a twitter search and someone would post quarterly updates. Not sure though if it is non US teams. I couldn't find any websites that had live scores but I did find a site that streamed the women's game live but it was also a gold medal game.

USA vs. Germany
7am eastern
rot# 435

pick: Germany +24.5
This will be the 8th game in 10 days for these two teams. The USA played in a weak bracket and won their first few games easily. In their last three games they beat Israel by 10, lost to Lithuania by 2 and beat Romania by 21.

Germany has lost just one game and has kept the scores low. 147 points is the most scored in one of their games. The one loss was 77-55 to Serbia, who is playing for the gold medal on Monday. The Germans are decent rebounders and that should help them vs. the USA. It does concern me that the USA will jump ahead early and blow out the Germans since their one loss was by 22 points.

In 2009 the USA lost to Russia by one point in the semis and then won their final game by 11 over Israel. This team is different from that 2009 team but I think Germany will be able to stay within 24 of the USA.

Germany +24.5
