Tony T here with our “Rockstar” quick hitter for Wednesday’s action.

The Mens Basketball Competition has reached the Medal Round of 8 with Team Greece and Team Argentina battling with Team Argentina the defending Olympic champion a 4-½ point favorite. This figures to be a very close matchup as Team Greece sports many players from the top teams in the Euro league and have good offensive rhythm. San Antonio Spur Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola of the Houston Rockets lead Argentina. Greece wants revenge against Argentina as Argentina eliminated them on their home turf in the 2004 Athens Summer Olympic Games. Argentina doesn’t have the firepower of the US team and Greece’s passing ability will keep them in this contest and they can hit the open jumper. Spanoulis is shooting 55% from the field for Greece and the team has shot 51% from the field in this competition against the toughest group in this competition. This will be a highly competitive game and one that will go down to the last possession. Take Greece plus the 4 ½.
