Next up, USA!

The Tall Fern's final Olympics game is against the USA. They do not expect to win this one.

• Coach McHugh: “I don’t think you’ll find a person in the world who would put $10 on us to beat the Americans.”


• TV New Zealand basketball commentator Tim Neverett: "The way the USA have played over the last several Olympics and with this team they have here this year, I hate to say it but the only way that New Zealand wins that game is if the United States bus breaks down on the way to the gymnasium."

Although it probably won't be a great basketball game, it will at last give Cardinal fans a chance to see Jillian and Clare in the Olympics. The game will actually be played on Sunday morning at 7:15 am Pacific Time.

In Palo Alto, with DirectTV, the game is scheduled to be televised on Sunday from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm on NBC11. To determine when/where you can see it, click Update Localization Preferences at the bottom of that web page and specify your location and service provider.
