SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- Host Puerto Rico has the most favorable schedule and Canada received an extremely tough draw Monday for the second round of the FIBA Tournament of the Americas.
Team USA remains the overwhelming favorite.
Canada, which is halfway through an unbelievably grueling stretch of eight games in eight days, faces Team USA Monday night at 10 p.m. Eastern time, then plays at 10 p.m. Tuesday against Brazil and Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. against the Dominican Republic.
No other team in this tournament has had to play a 10 p.m. game followed by a 2:30 p.m. game.
Puerto Rico is the only team of the eight still alive for three Olympic berths that has at least 24 hours between all of its games. Beginning Monday, the hosts play at 7:30 p.m. for three straight nights before facing Team USA at 10 p.m. Thursday.
Team USA (4-0), which averaged 108 points per game in the first round, plays Group A winner Argentina (3-1) on Thursday.
After the second round, the four teams with the best overall records advance to the semifinals on Aug. 30.
