Game 2: USA vs Angola

Schedule for today:
Breakfast, pre game meal, film session and departing for the 4:30 game!  Our game today is at Al-Ahli arena, a different arena than last night.   Team USA is ready to take on Angola who beat the Philippines 82-72 yesterday.
















The players read through and then each signed a document (2013-2014 Developmental National Team Gold Standards) in their pre-game meeting. They each signed their own document and past it around to get each teammates signature.  We are a TEAM.  Number 15 is PRIDE - We are the best team in the world and we represent the best country.
