I agree about the shirts. Weird!
But I was more impressed (negatively) with the poor play and sloppy ball-handling of the US team. Sheez, they looked like an exhausted hs team most of the game.
The announcers kept saying that the US was having trouble adjusting to the different game, but I'd be interested in the details of that. What specific differences make it so difficult to adjust? Is the 3-point line being closer actually a disadvantage, rather than an advantage? And is the FIBA floor smaller? It felt smaller to me, but I'm not sure. I'd be interested in hearing what y'all think.
