Game two of the men's Olympic basketball semifinals will feature Team USA in a rematch against Argentina at 4:00 p.m. ET.

The two teams have a notorious rivalry in FIBA play, highlighted by Argentina's upset of Team USA in the 2004 games in Athens, en route to the nation's first gold medal in the sport.

The two teams played last week and it's still fresh on some fans and players minds, especially after Facundo Campazzo's cheap shot on Carmelo Anthony during the third quarter.

Argentina only trailed Team USA by one point at halftime, but in the second half, Kevin Durant and LeBron James blew the game open in an eventual rout.

This matchup will be a tough test for Team USA, but they will be expected to go on to the gold medal round.

Team USA averages 118 points per game, while Argentina averages 88.3 points per game. The U.S. defense is holding teams to 80.7 points per game, while the Argentines hold opponents to 83.5 points per game. So, when you average out all the numbers, the U.S. is expected to defeat Argentina 100.8 to 84.5. Then again, those are just numbers built off data from scoreboards.
