Shouldn't the USA basketball team have to play with 4 players (spoiler)?

They just beat Nigeria 156 to 73. It was obviously unfair to allow the US team to use all its players. The refs should have done something.

    Yes they are cheating.

    NO! It's a basketball TEAM. A team consists of 10 players. If they wanted to match the USA up with a better team, that would be fine. They matched them up with Nigeria. That's it. They're allowed 5 players on the court. I'm sure they could have beat them with 3, though.

    Nigeria just needs to work hard like USA does, keep at it, and get better. Our players practice all the time, play hard, work out strategies, and deserve their wins just like anyone else.

    I agree it was an unfair match but it is the USA. Kinda left sorry for the Nigerian players and coach. Wasn't really a challenge for the USA and not much of a learning experience. They played well. Lol what can you do?
