Anybody Watch The USA/Tunisia B-Ball Game

Yeah, it was a wipe out, and the outcome was predetermined, BUT:

I was REALLY impressed with how hard the Tunisian team played from the opening tip unitl the final horn.

It was 100% effort the entire time and i have to believe those guys knew they had no chance.

But, with a couple minutes left, they were still running plays, setting picks, chasing the ball through the zone, switching and running around screens. . .

They just NEVER gave up even when they were behind by 50 points.

They should be proud of themselves for not just going through the motions.

but I figured it was more of Tunisia's effort than a let-down by US. Let down factor probably was there but more like you said.
