Team USA entered its FIBA World Cup semifinal matchup with Germany on Friday as 10.5-point favorites. The American squad filled with well-known NBA talent and still suffered defeat by the count of 113-111.
By no means was this Team USA assembled for the FIBA World Cup the same caliber squad we’ll see in the 2024 Olympics, the loss to Germany is still a tough scene for U.S. basketball.

What Steve Kerr’s team knew was a risk heading into the tournament reared its ugly head against the Germans.
1. Happy Football Season. Here’s what you need to know about the networks airing NFL games this season and the broadcast crews you’ll be listening to every Sunday, Monday and Thursday (and Friday and Saturday) later in the season.
ESPN
• John Madden and Pat Summerall worked together for 22 seasons. No broadcast duo has had a longer run in NFL history. The 2023 season will represent Year No. 22 for Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.
• ESPN/ABC will air four Monday Night Football doubleheaders this year. They aren’t traditional doubleheaders, though. They are “side-by-side” games.
Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo hasn’t played in more than a month and will miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome, but that didn’t stop umpire Alan Porter from ejecting him from Thursday night’s game against the Tigers.
Rizzo was in the dugout with the rest of his teammates and took issue with Porter’s strike zone during rookie Jasson Domínguez’s third-inning plate appearance. Domínguez was called out on strikes after taking a pitch that appeared to be well below the bottom of the zone.
Nick Saban might actually be a teddy bear when it comes to dealing with his mother Mary, and one story proves it.
The Alabama coach is notoriously tough on his players, and he’s the kind of guy who simply doesn’t tolerate nonsense. When it’s time to focus on football, it’s time to only focus on football……unless you’re Mary Saban.
Brett McMurphy recently shared an incredible story about how Mary called her son in the middle of practice in 2013 to brag about how she’d successfully hit a hole-in-one.
Nick Saban’s mom once called during practice to tease him about golf.
Jerry Jones isn’t calling 2023 a Super Bowl-or-bust season for the Cowboys, but he says the team should “do anything” to get to that level.
Former NHLers Dustin Brown and Jamie Langenbrunner highlight the 2023 U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame class. Brian Burke, Katie King Crowley and Brian Murphy are also being inducted.
Germany knocked off Team USA to advance to Sunday’s title game against Serbia.
It’s a classic September day on the front range of the Rocky Mountains: bluebird sky, thin air, ancient flatiron rock formations jutting up sharply above the Boulder campus of the University of Colorado. It’s so refreshingly picturesque that everyone should be outdoors.
Yet there are big doings indoors. In the campus bookstore, the checkout line is a dozen deep and constantly replenishing.
