00:00and we'll see you back here in a minute.

00:03Same spread today 22 and a half in favor of the Americans against the Belgians.

00:07The total on the rise to 165 and a hook.

00:10What is the thing you want to see most out of Team USA today?

00:14I want to see a better shooting effort from the team.

00:17They shot four of 20 from three-point range against Japan.

00:20That really is what allowed Japan to hang around longer than people probably expected them to.

00:24Japan has a very interesting play style.

00:26They like to run, they like to shoot, and they were hitting shots and Team USA wasn't hitting shots.

00:29But ultimately, you know, having Asia Wilson and Brianna Stewart on the interior,

00:33two best players in the world.

00:35The size advantage that they give them is going to be the difference for Team USA every game.

00:39So I fully expect them to reprise that role against Belgium,

00:44but I also expect them to get going from the perimeter.

00:46This is important to note that this Belgium team only lost to Team USA by two a few months ago.

00:51Granted, Asia Wilson didn't play. The game was played in Belgium,

00:54but I'm sure that will be on Team USA's mind.

00:56They won't take this team lightly and they're still figuring things out as well.

00:59So I expect them to be on a mission to kind of make a statement here as they continue to pursue gold again.
