by Kennedy Kechula | in Men's Olympic Tournament Predictions
The USA will play South Sudan in Round 2 of the men’s basketball tournament at the 2024 Olympic Games. The two teams are tied on two points in Group C with the USA top on points difference. Below is a look at the numbers ahead of the match and our prediction.
This is the second match between these two teams in the space of 11 days. The USA began their quest for a fifth successive gold with a 110-84 victory over a Serbia team led by Nikola Jokic. Six players scored in double figures for Steve Kerr’s men, Kevin Durant leading the way with 23.
LeBron James added 21 while Jrue Holiday put up 15 and Steph Curry 11. The favourites for the number one podium finish in Paris, Team USA have now won six matches in a row. One of these wins was an intense 101-100 success over South Sudan. That was a build-up game and the first ever between the nations.
South Sudan also began their 2024 Olympics with a win. Africa’s sole representatives in Paris, who are making their Summer Games debut, outdueled Puerto Rico 90-79. Royal Ivey’s men scored at least 20 points in three of the four quarters.
They won the last three quarters and took the lead after halftime and never looked back. Five players scored at least 11 points with Carlik Jones putting up a team-high 19 points and seven rebounds. The Bright Stars have now won five of their last eight games.
Three of those wins came at last year’s World Cup, a tournament in which they were making their debut. South Sudan shot 42% from the field against Puerto Rico with 23 of their 33 shot makes coming from inside the arc.
