Following Team USA’s 119-86 victory over Australia in which Kobe Bryant shook off a horrendous first half to lead his mates (pun intended) with 20 points (all in the second half, including six three pointers), the Americans are set to head into the semi-finals on Friday. With just four games left (including the Gold and Bronze medal games), here is the schedule for Friday’s semifinals:

The winners of each game will face off against each other in the Gold medal game, and the losers will fight for Bronze. Both of those games will be played on Sunday, with the Bronze medal game leading off at 3:00 AM and the Gold medal game tipping off at 7:00 AM.
Many of you have been asking “what channel?” the games are being played on. I know for me personally, they are broadcast live on NBC Sports Network, but many of you may not get that channel. In such case, you may stream any Olympic event live on LIVEXTRA provided you have a subscription to MSNBC and CNBC via cable, satellite, or telco.
Enjoy!
