Tunisia or the others making the top 10 wins for me. Bad luck happens sometimes, but to make the top 10, you not only have to get out of your group you have to have a good elimination round.
Lithuania don't generally have great World Championships, and had a pathetic Eurobasket last year. It'd be a shock, but this team isn't their best.
US losing by 20. They've been blown about before (usnt). Durant goes stone cold, and jumpers just not falling. A team like Spain could light them up.
Greece giving up 100 points. To get gold they have to either go through Spain, or the US. Both teams can't put up huge points, so it's certainly possible.
Spain not winning a medal. Upsets happen, and we saw last year sometimes Spain starts slow (Great Britain game). All this means is someone caught them napping in the round of 16 or 8.Pistons: 2021-22 Let the Motorcade begin!!

For me, suprising to me would be France getting to the knockout, Turkey not making it, and an African team making it to the knockout stages. No offense intended, just an honest opinion.My Blog: http://wwoib.blogspot.com/

Spain not winning a medal for me. Though it won't be that surprising given that they probably face the Americans in the semis and might lose the 3rd place game as well(maybe Greece/Serbia/Slovenia/other)
Voted that as Spain has been, medal-wise, the most successful team in the last 4 years

Excluding Angola and China, African and Asian teams still have a long way to go to catch up with the rest of the basketball powerhouses in the World.
Portugal (nearly to be a Division B NT) plays regularly with Angola and we can win frequently, which shows some under-level of FIBA Africa, actually.https://twitter.com/LuksKasabian
