Why not a pseudo little live-blog this morning? If anyone's around feel free to comment and I'll follow with some videos following the contest.8:15- Close game early on. The U.S. leads by only three halfway through the first. Howard is settling in down low (Bogut has two fouls) but Australia is nailing their threes.20-17 with 2:50 left in the first. There's been a couple of shots by the Aussies early as well. Something to keep in mind."Stop being stupid. You're making dumb plays"- Coach K via Craig Sager2:20- Australia's point guard, Patty Mills (St. Marys) is giving Team USA's guards some problems early and it might be time to bring in Chris Paul. We were tied, but Anthony hit a three to give "Redeem" the lead back24-21 (under a minute left in the first)2:24- The U.S. is 4-11 from the FT line early as well. Mills hits a beautful running layup and gets fouled, but misses the free throw. Paul drives and is hammered at the buzzer....no call.25-24 U.S. at the end of one8:28- We start the second quarter with an obligatory Michael Phelps story from Sager and Wade completes a three-point play. Bogut looks terrible by the way. Australia is still bumping and it's about time to start hitting back.30-26 with 9 minutes left8:33- Patrick Mills again! He takes it right at Chris Bosh for two. Bosh misses another throw and the U.S. is shooting somewhere in the teens from the line. Wade to James....Slam! Bogut finally scores but Kobe follows on the other end with a dunk. Kobe again with a behind the back fake and a layup. 37-30 USA with 6:30 left in the second
