US Olympic team is in Group A with France, the Czech Republic and Iran. Canada failed to make the Olympics, continuing a drought that has gone on since 2000.

I guess I haven't been paying attention. I was watching the USA-FRA game and wondering where the trapezoidal lane was. Turns out FIBA changed the lane to conform to the NBA lane way back in 2008. SMH....
