USA Basketball's hopes of winning a second straight Olympic gold medal in the women's 3x3 competition are quickly fading after a 17-15 loss to Australia on Thursday.
The U.S. team—comprised of Hailey Van Lith, Rhyne Howard, Dearica Hamby and Cierra Burdick—is the only winless club in Paris with an 0-3 record.
There are still two days left in the competition and the top six teams advance to the knockout stage, with the top two countries getting an automatic berth in the semifinals.
