Despite Australia being ranked 11th, with less than half the roster playing basketball in the NBA, it seems the U.S. knew they were in for a hard fight.
"I mean we expected that, there are great players on that team," U.S. point guard Kyrie Irving, who was born in Australia and seriously considered representing the country, told Channel 7after the match.

Less impressed however was Australian captain Andrew Bogut, who thought they could have won it. "We had a great opportunity to push that game. We still lost the game, it doesn't mean anything," Bogut told Channel 7.
