Team USA Basketball kicks off their quest for Gold this Sunday with an opening game versus France.
In their last major tournament international head-to-head, France upset the heavily-favored Americans 89-79 in the 2019 FIBA World Cup quarterfinals.
Such loss still leaves an ugly taste in Team USA head coach Gregg Popovich’s mouth after two years and he said they have been preparing for redemption against the French for two years and he thinks about the loss every day.
However, Olympics history shows the U.S posting a 6-0 record against the French all-time, but this USA squad knows the French aren’t a team they can take for granted.
