Bol Bol, R.J. Barrett to square off in nationally-televised contest Friday: Live updates

Earlier in the week, Oregon Ducks men's basketball fans were disappointed to learn five-star signees Bol Bol and Louis King would miss the McDonald's All-American Game due to lingering injuries.

But Oregon fans won't have to wait long to get a preview of Bol, the undisputed headliner of the program's best-ever recruiting class.

On Friday, Bol's Findlay Prep squad is set to take on No. 1 prospect R.J. Barrett's Montverde Academy in the semifinals of Geico Nationals on ESPN2 on Friday at 2 p.m. PT.

The 7-foot-1, 225-pound big man, who has been dealing with a sore achilles, chose not to participate in the national all-star showcase earlier in the week in order to be fully rested and healthy to make a run at a national championship.
