Until the fourth but it was good then. The days of complete domination like the first three Olympic games are gone.

Too many good international players.



They have more NBA talent on these teams but they are playing thug ball. Hockey has nothing on the Seb's body checking last night. We had better think about the more physical player or we are going to get thugged out of these games in the future. Without Lebron James physically willing this team at 39 years of age it was over.

This sounds about right given that Texas has won 2 of the last 3 Director cups.

South Carolina and Vandy should be listed before Mizz and Ole Miss since their one metal is gold.


I bet it is heavy as well.

Florida and Texas are the best all round so it makes sense. LSU third.

dk man we did just beat Brazil by 35. When they're on, the US team just sucks the life out of their opponents.

Other teams still struggle to have an NBA starting 5 while our bench is nothing but all stars. The only thing that can beat these guys is arrogance and laziness


Brazil is nowhere near the top level. France, Canada, some other European team will be a challenge in the future. More and more NBA players are coming out of Africa. We've got a former MVP out of Africa playing for us this year.

Mondo and his family are LSU alums so he counts on LSU's totals even if it's not an American medal. Sweden let his parents coach him so he represented his mother's country

CB, I know you are just pulling this from the guy on twitter, but UF only seems to have 11 medals according to the official UF athletics site.

Also we are listing Andrew Nembhard as a Gator which is BS imo, he played 2 years at UF and then transferred and played 2 years at Gonzaga. So I don't count him as a Gator.
More of a trator than a Gator.

It’s been dang impressive. UT has more medals than all but six countries participating in Paris. And, this makes 11 consecutive Olympics we’ve had at least one gold medalist.
