Olympics Tuneup: U.S. Romps Over Brazil

Related Topics: tuneup

It was only a friendly and there's a long way to go before the U.S. has an opportunity to compete for a medal.

Nonetheless, Argentina is still a worthy opponent and to beat El Alma Argentina by 37 is a good omen.

The U.S. was never seriously bothered in this one and dominated from start to finish.

As one telling example, DeMarcus Cousins had 15 rebounds in 16 minutes. Another: despite the massive blowout, the U.S. shot just 45% overall.

Keep in mind that this team has a ton of new guys. Like we see at Duke, Coach K rotated liberally and experimented, looking for the right combinations.
