Boxscores from day 2:

USA 102 - Venezuela 76 (VEN's Carrera again with big numbers)
Canada 88 - Bahamas 69
Puerto Rico 83 - Brazil 81
Argentina 84 - Mexico 35 (ARG 63 rebounds!!)
 
Venezuela 81-58 Brazil

This should put Venezuela in the semis, does anyone know what the tiebreaker is if PR beats the US? Carrera with 18 and 15 in 24 minutes but only 6-16 from the line, Brazil's lack of size hurt them again as Venezuela pulled down 21 offensive rebounds.

now shown that there is no excuse for this ridiculous campaign in competition
or referee details and contributed for this farce which is the minimum expected is the resignation of the committee technique
the Brazilians are embarrassed about this team
 
Mexico 84-73 Bahamas (OT)

Exciting game, I guess. Mike Carey challenges Drummond for the stat line of the tournament:

8-31 FG, 1-11 3PT, 9-17 FT, 26 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 8 turnovers.

Meanwhile my new favorite player Garth Brown shoots 6-21, bringing his total for the tournament to 9-48. Will his shooting percentage be lower than David Ortiz's batting average at the end of the tournament? Place your bets here.
 
USA 126-73 Puerto Rico

Now that's the kind of score I was hoping to see at the start of the tournament.
 
Argentina 87-81 Canada (OT)

Easily the best game of the tournament so far. Marchisio played a key role for Argentina late, I thought he was injured?

Semifinals are Argentina-Venezuela and USA-Canada.
 
Canada looks like underdog... Is it possible, that they´ll beat USA?
 
Puerto Rico 82-74 Bahamas

Bahamas was winning 71-63 with less than 2 minutes left.
 
Brazil 83-80 Mexico (OT)

Mexico was up 12 after the third quarter. I may have to withdraw my complaining about the US having the harder group and replace it with complaining about how our group did not adequately prepare us for the semifinals.
 
USA 126-78 Canada

US with 33 offensive rebounds and 106 field goal attempts.
 
Argentina 66-58 Venezuela

Argentina-US in the final, Venezuela-Canada for third place and a spot in next year's WC.
 
Bahamas 87-83 Mexico (OT)

Bahamas finally gets a win after blowing another lead in regulation. Bail with 30 points/18 rebounds, and Brown with 23--where were those performances in the group stage?
 
Brazil 82-79 Puerto Rico

Leonardo Simoes Meindl hits a three in the final seconds.
 
Canada 106-81 Venezuela

Canada gets the final WC spot behind 28 points from Kevin Pangos.
 
USA 101-87 Argentina

US up by 27 in the fourth quarter before they apparently stopped playing defense. 29 offensive rebounds but what is up with 17-37 from the line?

The boys have set a high standard but the U16 girls should win their games much more easily in August.
