It's on Ch 7 now (well, half-time break). US up 44-43. Pau Gasol has 18 at the half. Marbury has 10 for the US.

Good to see the Aussie ref, Michael Ayeln, stuffing up as much as he does in NBL :)

US pull away to win 102-94. Gasol played the full 40 and looked tired towards the end, finishing with 29 points and 6 rebounds. He was fouled 11 times.
Marbury was on fire for the US, hitting 6/9 threes to finish with 31 points and 4 assists. The Americans had a few good steals and played excellent defense to close out the game.
Box score
The other 3 quarter final games are Lithuania vs China, Italy vs Puerto Rico and Greece vs Argentina.
once again the refs bail USA out of a close game. funny how marbury uses his arm bar 3 times in a row to knock over a spanish player and no call is made.

How good was that dunk by Gasol, baseline spin, awesome! He was a bit "hammeresque" last night though trying to do it all himself

Gasol is awesome. He's got a few inches on Bogut (215cm - 207cm... correct me if I'm wrong) but I hope Bogut eventually developes to somewhere near Gasol's level.
No comment of the reffing, or Aylen... but C'mon Yogee, you say the abuse was bad when you reffed U12s.... how do you think it'd be in Greece, when a Euro team is close to knocking off the USA? I'm not sure why you'd choose to not comment on any part of the game, apart from to bag the Aussie ref, who must have been doing OK over there to get a Mens QF.

Imagine ref'ing in Italy! Have you seen that video of the import whacking the ref? He went straight to the floor and didn't get up again for a while.
