I don't think they can play the 3rd place finishers (Germany or Argentina) because they finished 2nd in their group. It's basically Italy or Slovenia-Spain loser.

This Spain-Slovenia game gonna be interesting. I think Italy gotta be the hope for the first game because Spain or Slovenia for your first game in the knockout round is :patrice:

The quarterfinal matchups are determined by a draw, all the one seeds + best second seed in one hat and the rest of the teams in the other. Only stipulation is you cant play a team in the quarterfinals from your original group, possibilities for USA's draw will be Italy, Germany, loser of Spain/Slovenia or winner of Argentina/Japan.

Olympic basketball Final Phase Draw coming after last group stage game

Teams qualified for the Final Phase of the tournament will be divided into two pots:

  • Pot D is comprised of the three winning teams of the three Group Phases, along with the second-placed team with the best result from the Group Phase.*
  • Pot E is made from the two remaining second-placed teams from the Group Phase, along with the two third-placed teams from the Group Phase.*
Now, onto the draw principles:

  • Each game pairing will have one team from Pot D and one team from Pot E
  • Teams from the same the Group Phase cannot be drawn against each other in the Quarter-Finals
  • The second-placed team from the Pot D cannot be drawn against the third-placed teams from the Pot E.
