00:00All right, now the other thing that we have going on, and I know you're following this

00:06closely as well, is Team USA's women's basketball team.

00:10So with the men taking a break, we have the women playing Belgium today at three o'clock

00:14Eastern.

00:15And very similar to the game against South Sudan yesterday, Team USA is playing against

00:19a team that they should beat pretty handedly.

00:22They're 23 and a half point favorites against Belgium with a total of 164 and a half.

00:27I know several players on Team USA.

00:29Bill, I know nothing of Team Belgium, so tell me what kind of odds they have of keeping

00:34this game even close today.

00:36Well, I feel like I'm going to give you the same speech I did yesterday, which was not

00:40bad with the exception of Julien Bede not playing, you know, so I missed that.

00:45But everything else wasn't bad yesterday in the analysis.

00:49Team USA beat Belgium 81 to 79 in qualifying.

00:52Now Asia Wilson didn't play in that game, much like Kevin Durant didn't play the first

00:56time they played South Sudan.

00:58That's going to be a huge difference maker.

01:00Give them some edge on the rebounding.

01:03Team USA scored 100 points or more in each of their games, except against Belgium and

01:07Germany.

01:08So if you're looking at that over, it could be a little dicey like it was yesterday right

01:12down to the last shot.

01:14That said, I mean, Belgium doesn't have the talent that Team USA does.

01:19They do have Julie Vanloo, Mystics guard, kind of a role player can get some assist

01:23played well the first time there's a prop I might hit.

01:26He may score more than 15 points in this game.

01:29But I mean, with Asia Wilson out there, I think it's going to make it that much tougher

01:34for Belgium to control the glass.

01:36I mean, Brenna Stewart, Brianna Stewart and Asia Wilson will be able to control the rebounding

01:40in this game.
