The United States men’s basketball team is facing off against South Sudan in a pre-Olympic tune-up in London, and it’s shaping up to be a massive upset for the Americans.
At the half, Team USA trails South Sudan by 14 points. South Sudan is ranked No. 33 by FIBA — USA is No. 1. Team USA was also a 43.5-point-favorite going into Satuday’s game.
The U.S. went into the matchup 3-0, beating Canada in Las Vegas and then defeating Australia and Serbia at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates earlier this week before traveling to London.
The team will play against Germany on Monday in its last exhibition match before the Olympics begin.
