USA Men’s wheelchair basketball team continues to dominate international competition as they win 3 straight and will face Colombia in the Quarterfinals today (8/27/09) at 10:00pm (EDT) in Richmond, BC (Western Canada) at the 09′ Americas Cup.

USA vs Colombia Quarterfinal Prediction: In the three wins team USA has outscored their competition 272 – 110. Their next opponent on the other hand has been outscored 208-160. With all that said, Colombia has the height and talent — WILMAN RIOS, NELSON LONDONO, and RODNEY HAWKINS — to challenge the American’s. Expect the game to be close early with Londono and Hawkins being effective in the paint but team USA depth should be more then enough to keep things rolling and move on to the semifinals.

Also check out: Team Canada is also cruising along in pool play as they stay undefeated going into their quarterfinal match vs Jamaica today at 8:00pm (EDT). With both Canada and USA being the top seed on opposite pools, they’re lined up to face each other in the Championship game if both teams win their next two games.

Interesting Nugget: Canada’s elite athlete Patrick Anderson played in his last game yesterday. Learn why at his blog http://patrickanderson.ca/
