RIO DE JANEIRO -- Team USA will face its old friends from Argentina on Wednesday in the mens basketball quarterfinals at the Rio Olympics.Argentinas loss Monday night in its Group B finale against Spain, coupled with Croatias subsequent rout of Lithuania, dropped the Manu Ginobili-led Argentines to fourth place in the group -- but one spot ahead of rival Brazil, which was eliminated.The USA-Argentina winner will face the Spain-France winner in Fridays semifinals. On the other side of the bracket, Australia meets Lithuania in one quarterfinal and Group B winner Croatia takes on bitter rival Serbia in the other.With Ginobili, Luis Scola, Andres Nocioni and Carlos Delfino, Argentina stunned a U.S. team that featured a 20-year-old named Carmelo Anthony in the semifinals of the 2004 Olympic tournament in Athens. That loss sparked an overhaul of USA Basketball, which led to the 2005 appointment of Dukes Mike Krzyzewski as coach under USAB chairman Jerry Colangelo.The Americans have since won 21 consecutive games in the Olympics and two successive gold medals under Krzyzewski. But Team USA, with Anthony as its most experienced player, has struggled by its own lofty standards in Rio, winning its previous three games against Australia, Serbia and France by a mere 16 points combined.Well be ready for these last three [games], Im telling you right now, Team USA guard Klay Thompson told ESPNs SportsCenter on Sunday after scoring 30 points in the Americans 100-97 victory over France.Thompson insisted that a late flurry by the French, after the Americans had seized a 100-90 lead, made the final margin look worse than it was.As for criticism his team has received for not coming together as quickly as anticipated compared to the cohesion that underdog opponents such as Australia and Serbia have shown, Krzyzewski told SportsCenter of his players: Well, I do think they trust each other. Theyre just not accustomed to playing with one another. When youre together for one month, its not as instinctive.But dont confuse it with not getting along, ?pulling for each other, things like that. Its just not as instinctive as it would be for an international team thats played together for years. Thats always something that we have to fight in putting a team together for these international competitions. But were getting there.Team USA throttled Argentina by 37 points last month when the teams met in a July 18 exhibition in Las Vegas. But the Americans road to the gold-medal game will force them to see off the most seasoned competition they could have drawn just for the chance to play for the championship in Krzyzewskis farewell tournament.Spain opposed the United States in each of the past two gold-medal games, losing by scores of 118-107 and 107-100. This incarnation of Spain, however, will be without Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol, who is not playing alongside brother Pau Gasol at these Olympics as he continues his recovery from the foot surgery that limited him to 52 games last season.We know that the quarterfinals is the beginning of another tournament, France coach Vincent Collet said. When you reach this goal, [then] the real tournament starts.Said Team USAs Thompson: Everyone we see now is going to be explosive. Were happy to be 5-0, and we control our own destiny. We just have to trust ourselves on both sides of the ball, and if we do that and play hard, I dont think well lose. Air Jordan 1 Satin Black Toe Black Womens .

The Pegasus World Cup, the planned $12 million race announced this year by The Stronach Group, has been assigned a Grade 1 rating for 2017 by the committee that assigns grades to U.S. stakes races, the committee announced on Friday.The American Graded Stakes Committee of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association voted to assign the highest rating in the U.S. to the race after noting that the Pegasus is expected to replace the Grade 1 Donn Handicap at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, Fla., on the U.S. racing calendar.While the decision by the committee was not unexpected, the assignment of a Grade 1 rating lends cachet to a race that is being run under highly unusual conditions. For the race, The Stronach Group, the owner of Gulfstream Park and a handful of other tracks, has said it has sold 12 berths in the race to individuals and partnerships for $1 million each.dddddddddddd The berths guarantee the holders a spot in the starting gate and a cut of the net revenue from handle and sponsorships connected to the race.With a purse of $12 million, the Pegasus will be the richest race held in the world, provided the race goes off as planned. Scheduled for Jan. 28, the race is for horses ages 4 and up and will be run at 1-1/8 miles. The Donn Handicap, which last year had a $500,000 purse, was also run at 1-1/8 miles.If the owners of the berths do not own horses who fit the conditions or level of competition, they are expected to cut deals with other owners to sell the berths outright or lease horses for the purposes of the race. No other race in the U.S. has ever been run under such conditions. ' ' '
