At the 1971Pan Ams, despite a recordof 2-1 in the preliminaryround, the USA did not ad-vance to the medal round,and for the first time in PanAmerican Games history,did not win the gold medal.The United States re-bounded, however, for a 26-0 record over the next threePan Am Games and cap-tured its most recent PanAm gold in 1983. Overall,the Americans have com-piled an 87-15 record andcaptured eight gold medals,three silver medals and twobronze medals.

In 2011, the USA team, comprised of players andcoaches from the NBA Development League, fought to awell-earned 94-92 bronze medal victory over the Domini-can Republic in Guadalajara, Mexico.

History (1951-2011)


SIXTEENTH PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 2011Guadalajara, Mexico October 26-30, 2011

With the 2011 Pan American Games men's basketball competitionbeing held Oct. 26-30, USA Basketball fielded a team that featuredplayers and coaches from the NBA Development League. While a frigidshooting day versus host Mexcio in the medal round semifinals elimi-nated the Americans from the gold medal hunt, the U.S. perservered toearn its first Pan American Games medal since 1999 when it defeatedthe Dominican Republic 94-92 to capture the bronze medal.

Directed by Tulsa 66ers head coach Nate Tibbetts, the U.S. was ledby Lance Thomas' double-double of 15 points and 16 rebounds, but itwas Marcus Lewis’ two blocked shots in the game’s final 12 secondsthat earned the USA a 77-76 victory over the Dominican Republic inboth teams’ opening game.

The USA mounted a miraculous comeback to record an impressive88-77 win over Brazil. Behind Blake Ahearn’s 21 points ,and JustinDentmon’s 16 points, the USA stormed back from 17 points down mid-way in the third quarter to claim a remarkable 11-point win. Assured ofGroup B's No. 1 seed for the medal round after making the plays need-ed in the closing minutes to win their first two games at the PanAmerican Games, the USA came up short and fell 82-80 to Uruguay inits final preliminary round game. The game came down to plays in thefinal minute and Uruguay made enough to slip past the U.S. JeromeDyson paced the U.S. with 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the floorand 4-of-6 from 3-point.

Carrying Group B's No. 1 seed into the medal round semifinals,there couldn’t have been a worse time for the USA’s shooting to goSouth. Making just 32.7 percent (18-53) of its shots for the game and

sinking only 23.5 percent of its attempts from behind the 3-point line,the USA fell 71-55 to host Mexico who was spurred on to the win by acapacity and rautous crowd. Leo Lyons finished as the USA’s leadingscorer with 13 points and made 5-of-7 shots overall and was a perfect3-of-3 from 3-point. Dyson added 10 points and five rebounds, whileAhearn tossed in nine points, and Donald Sloan accounted for sevenpoints and a USA best eight rebounds.

Behind a balanced scoring effort that saw all 12 USA players score,including five in double digits, the USA fought to a well earned 94-92bronze medal game victory over the Dominican Republic. In an offen-sive game that saw the two teams combine to score 186 points, thegame’s outcome was decided by a defensive stop by the Americansquad in the final seconds. Clinging to a 94-92 lead, the USA's 6-foot-8Thomas well defended the Domican's 3-point attempt that missed itsmark and the USA had its narrow win and the 2011 Pan AmericanGames bronze medals. The USA’s offensive showing was led byThomas, who finished with 14 points. Lewis added 12 points and sevenrebounds, Dentmon tallied 12 points and five assists, Sloan scored 11and Lyons finished with 10 points. Gregory Stiemsma tied a USA singlegame record for blocked shots with four, and added six points and tworebounds in 13 minutes of action.

"I’m excited about this. It’s our first medal since 1999 and I’mreally proud of our guys for bouncing back after a tough loss yesterday(versus Mexico) and coming out and playing hard this morning,” saidTibbetts following his squad's determined showing in the bronze medalgame.

FIFTEENTH PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 2007Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

July 25-29, 2007

As the youngest team in the competition, the 2007 USA Men's PanAmerican Team took a little time to gel but avenged an earlier loss toclose with three straight wins and a fifth-place finish in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil.

Mentored by Villanova head coach Jay Wright, the USA openedwith an 81-72 setback against Uruguay on July 25.

D.J. White and Maarty Leunen headed the U.S. effort with 14points apiece and added nine and seven rebounds, respectively, butEsteban Bastista, who also plays for the NBA's Atlanta Hawks, was toomuch for the red, white and blue in the initial contest. Batista scored 25points, including 14 in the first half.

In game two against Panama, Team USA raced off to a 14-5 leadafter a 10-0 run, spurred by Drew Neitzel's eight points. The red, whiteand blue held a 29-15 advantage, but the motor suddenly stalled. Forthe next eight minutes until the end of the first half, the USA managedtwo field goals while Panama put up 16 points to even the score at 33-33 by intermission. Similarly, Panama closed the third quarter with a17-4 run and held a 57-44 lead heading to the final frame. Shan Foster'sthird 3-ball of the game brought the U.S. within 59-52, but Panama'sDanilo Pinnock drained a trio of 3-pointers after that time to secure a75-67 Panama win. Roy Hibbert scored 19 points in the USA setback.

On its way to the first of three consecutive triumphs, Team USAhanded Argentina the first of three straight setbacks. White again cameup big, scoring 22 points, including the first six points of the fourthquarter to break a 59-59 tie with the Argentines. Later, with a battle stillon their hands and the score standing at 73-71 USA, Neitzel missed a

jumper, but Joey Dorsey converted the first of two last-minute putbacks.White missed a jumper with 22 seconds remaining, but Dorsey wasthere again. Argentina fouled the Memphis big-man who hit the first oftwo free throws for the final 74-71 USA margin.

White's 22 points and 13 rebounds were plenty of power for a 84-58USA defeat of the Virgin Islands, as the USA learned increasingly torely on post play. White and Hibbert tallied 11 and seven points each byhalftime and put up 24 points in the paint overall in Team USA's sec-ond-straight win.

Behind by as many as 13 points and playing for payback, the USAgutted out a 77-74 win over Panama to claim fifth place. Low led theway with 16 points while Foster and White recorded 14 points each.Exchanging runs throughout the game, Leunen, and the Americansmounted an 18-7 run to close the third quarter. Low took the reignsfrom there. The Washington State guard scored the first six points in thefourth quarter to push his team to a 60-56 lead. With the lead goingback and forth, Panama took a 71-70 edge at 1:34 on the clock. Driving,Low cut into the hoop and made two field goals. The second was a 3-point play opportunity, but Low missed the free throw, giving Panama achance to tie on a 3. This time Panama missed and was forced to foulWhite who made one of two foul shots for a 75-71 USA lead with 19.3seconds left. With 11.4 ticks, Panama hit a long-range triple to trim thegame to the tightest of margins, 75-74, and promptly fouled Leunen.Game on the line? No problem for Leunen who hit the pair of foul shotsto extend the U.S. lead to 77-74.

FOURTEENTH PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 2003Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic

August 2-6, 2003

In every game until the final buzzer, the USA men suffered threenarrow defeats in five games to place fourth at the 2003 Pan AmericanGames in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Coached by Michigan State University's Tom Izzo, the U.S. squadcomprised of collegians posted a 2-3 record, losing its three games byone, six, and 12 points in a game the U.S. led by two with just over fourminutes left.

The 2003 Pan American Games featured eight men's teams dividedinto two preliminary groups of four teams each.

The USA men opened the tournament in dramatic fashion, rallyingin the final minute to record an 80-79 victory over favorite Argentina onAug. 2 as Chuck Hayes led the scoring attack with 17 points on 7-of-10shooting. Trailing 71-63 with 5:37 left, Hayes started the U.S. on thecomeback trail with a pair of baskets. Then Rickey Paulding hit a 3-pointer, and after Hayes nailed a pair of free throws, the USA wasback on top 74-73 with 2:50 left. Tied at 74, Blake Stepp drilled a 25-foot 3-pointer to give the USA a lead it would not relinquish.

In its second wild ride in as many nights, the USA saw AndreBarrett's baseline jumper rim out at the horn to find itself on the shortend of an 86-85 score against Puerto Rico on Aug. 3. The USA was ledin scoring by Barrett's 16 points, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range.Arthur Johnson contributed 15 points and eight rebounds.

In need of a victory to advance to medal round semifinals, for thethird consecutive night the outcome was decided in the final seconds asthe USA fought its way to a 74-72 win over Uruguay on Aug. 4. Withthe USA leading 73-72 and 29 seconds to go, Barrett reached in to tie

up the ball and earn possession back for the USA. Paulding hit the backend of a two-shot foul with eight seconds left to give the U.S. a tenuoustwo-point cushion, and when Uruguay’s would-be game-winning threeclanged off the iron as the horn sounded, the Americans had thethrilling 74-72 win. Johnson led the USA effort with 17 points, sup-ported by Barrett's 11 and 10 from Hayes.

Cold shooting at precisely the wrong time relegated the USA to thebronze medal game. With the U.S. leading 76-74 and 4:18 remaining,Brazil went on a 13-0 tear to score a 92-80 victory on Aug. 5. EmekaOkafor scored 18, and the USA's effort was further supported by Hayes'15 points and game best 13 boards. Paulding contributed 11 points.

Team USA failed to medal at the Pan Ams for just the second timewhen it fell 76-70 in a rematch with Puerto Rico in the bronze medalgame on Aug. 6. The U.S. was within three, 63-60, with 3:49 remain-ing, but the USA comeback hopes were dashed when Puerto Rico reeledoff seven unanswered points to go up 70-60 with 1:22 left to insuretheir claim on the bronze. The USA was led by Ben Gordon's 12 points,while Okafor scored 10 points and Hayes added 10 points and ninerebounds. Brandon Mouton grabbed a game high 10 rebounds.

TWELFTH PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 1995Mar del Plata, Argentina

March 19-25, 1995

The USA's quest to regain the Pan American Games gold medalagain fell short as host Argentina twice beat the U.S. contingent andclaimed the gold. The USA earned the silver while Brazil captured thebronze.

Because of the March timing of the ‘95 Pan Am Games, U.S.college players were unable to be considered for this team. Instead,USA Basketball turned to the Continental Basketball Association(CBA), which agreed to allow players from its teams to miss some ofthe regular season in order to participate.

Opening against host Argentina, with the backing of a raucous sold-out crowd numbering over 8,000 and behind the play of guard JuanEspil, Argentina rallied from as many as 15 points down in the secondhalf to edge the U.S. 68-67. The U.S. either led or was tied for the leadfrom the 16:30 mark of the first half to the game's final second, howev-er, Argentina's Diego Osella scored the game winning layup with onesecond remaining to give Argentina the win. Carl Thomas led the U.S.with 14 points, and Kelsey Weems added 12. Espil finished with 27points, 23 coming in the second half.

One night later the USA watched victory again slip away in thegame's final seconds when Brazil's Joao Guia scored on a drive with15.6 seconds left, and the U.S. failed to score on its last possession asBrazil slipped past the Americans 101-98. Sean Gay led the U.S. with22 points, and A.J. Wynder added 19. Looking for its first win, the U.S.led from start to finish in a 97-78 victory over Puerto Rico. Thomas ledthe U.S. with 22 points, Brian Davis added 18, while Scott Paddock fin-ished with 14 points and 17 rebounds, and Chuckie White had 13 points

and a game high 18 rebounds. Squandering a lead late, the U.S. recovered in overtime to capture a

104-96 win over Uruguay as 6-7 White had a huge game for the U.S.,recording 23 points and 21 rebounds. Behind 17 points from DaveJamerson, the U.S. stormed to its third consecutive victory in impres-sive style, romping to a 104-80 win over Mexico.

Meeting Brazil in the semifinals, Rumeal Robinson scored 22points as the U.S. avenged its earlier setback with an 89-85 victory toearn a berth into the gold medal game.

Argentina, motivated by another overflowing vocal and partisancrowd estimated at 9,000, held off a late USA rally to capture a 90-86victory and the 1995 Pan American Games men's basketball goldmedal. It was Argentina's first ever Pan Am men's basketball goldmedal.

“The crowd was maniacal...You couldn't hear yourself on thecourt,” stated U.S. head mentor Mike Thibault of the crowd.

The first half was all offense, with the two teams combining for 111points as Argentina held a 60-51 advantage at halftime. In the first half,Argentina shot a sizzling 71.4 percent (20-28 FGs) while the U.S. man-aged to shoot 59.4 percent (19-32 FGs).

Trailing by as many as 13 points in the second half, the USA ralliedto take a 77-76 lead with 6:49 to play. But Argentina outscored the U.S.nine to four over the next 4:23 to grab an 85-80 lead with 2:26 remain-ing, and the U.S. never got closer than three points again.

Robinson led the U.S. with 18 points, while Martin accounted for15. Espil was the high scorer for Argentina with 22 points.

ELEVENTH PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 1991Havana,Cuba

August 3 - 17, 1991

Seeking to recapture the Pan American Games gold medal, whichthe USA had lost to Brazil in 1987, the Americans again saw theirgolden dreams dashed as Puerto Rico defeated the U.S. in the semifi-nals and went on to secure the gold. For the U.S., it was another goodshowing that failed to realize the gold. The USA finished with a 6-1record and the bronze medal.

Opening against host Cuba and playing in front of a capacityhome crowd, Thomas Hill of the U.S. initiated the competition byshattering a backboard with a pre-game dunk. After a new backboardwas in place, the U.S. started slowly and at half trailed 50-47.Dominating the first 15 minutes of the second half and taking control86-72, the U.S. squad held on in the final five minutes and earned a92-88 victory as James Jackson scored 22 points on 10-of-13 shootingfrom the field, and Duke's Christian Laettner added 19 points.

Two days later, the U.S. again suffered through a sluggish firsthalf, posting just a six point lead over Venezuela, 43-37. But anotherstrong second half lifted the U.S. to a convincing 91-66 win asJackson and Laettner led the U.S. scoring attack again with 18 and 15points, respectively. Argentina took the Americans to the limit beforethe U.S. claimed an 87-81 win. With four minutes to play, the U.S.held a 76-75 lead, but four points from Jackson and four fromClarence Weatherspoon in the closing minutes helped lead the U.S.seal the win. Jackson led the U.S. scoring with 17 points, Laettneradded 15 and Weatherspoon tossed in 14 points.

After a three-day break, the U.S. returned to the court facing theBahamas. Jumping out to an 18-0 lead, the U.S. continued its relent-

less running attack and went on to claim a 116-58 win as six U.S.players scored in double figures. Terry Dehere tallied a game high 21points, while Jackson and Walt Williams added 19 and 17 each.

Completing pool play with an unblemished 4-0 record, the U.S.disposed of Uruguay 114-68 in the quarterfinals. Jumping out to a 9-0lead, the USA never looked back as all 12 U.S. players scored in thewin, led by UCLA's Tracy Murray's 16 points.

Facing a veteran Puerto Rico team in the semifinals, the USA'sgolden dreams received a blow when it was learned less than 24 hoursbefore the semifinals contest that Jackson, the USA's leading scorer,would miss the remainder of the competition because of a stress frac-ture in his left foot.

The U.S. got off to a strong start and at halftime owned a 37-29advantage over Puerto Rico. With 4:47 to play the Americans led 64-63, but Puerto Rico reeled off eight straight points to take control 71-64 with 1:34 to play. Although the U.S. cut that deficit to 71-68 with44 seconds left, Puerto Rico made its free throws down the stretch totake the 73-68 win. Williams led the U.S. with 16 points, and Laettneradded 14 points and 11 rebounds.

Facing host Cuba in the bronze medal game, the U.S. controlledthe first half and led at the mid-way point 56-44. With 13:46 to go,Cuba had rallied to within two, 63-61, but the U.S. regrouped andwent on to claim the 93-74 victory and Pan Am bronze. Six U.S. play-ers scored in double digits, with Murray and Williams each accountingfor 15 points.

August 7-23, 1987

The 1987 Pan American Games marked the first time the eventwas held in the United States since 1959 when the U.S. captured thegold medal in Chicago, Illinois. This year, however, the fate of theU.S. squad was not the same. Upset by Brazil in the championship,the United States was denied the gold medal for just the second timein 36-year Pan American history.

Head coach Denny Crum and the United States squad breezed itsway through its first five games, winning by an average margin ofover 29 points. Opening against Panama, six U.S. players scored indouble digits to pace the USA squad to a 91-63 win. Argentina fell85-58 to the U.S. as all 12 USA team members scored.

The USA's shooting warmed up in its next three games, and theoffense responded with three consecutive 100-point games. DroppingMexico 105-73, the U.S. shot 59.2 percent from the floor, and RexChapman scored 18 points. Defeating Venezuela 109-74 the follow-ing day, the U.S. again shot 59.2 percent from the floor as Chapmanscored 17 points and 7-1 David Robinson added 17 points and 11rebounds. Shooting 60.9 percent from the floor, the U.S. beatUruguay 105-81 as every U.S. member scored, including seven indouble figures.

Standing 5-0, the U.S. team received its first test when it lockedhorns with Puerto Rico in the semifinals. Tied at half 39-39, the USAheld a slim 74-72 lead heading into the final minute and eventuallyposted an 80-75 win thanks to the dominating inside play ofRobinson and Danny Manning and a strong defense. The U.S. held

Puerto Rico to just 41.2 percent shooting and outrebounded them 47-36. Robinson finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds, and Manningadded 20 points and six boards.

With a sold-out Market Square Arena crowd of 16,408 in atten-dance, the 6-0 USA team took the court against a 5-1 Brazilian team.The U.S. team, which had won 65 of 67 previous Pan AmericanGames, seemed in total control early, cruising to a 68-54 halftimelead. But Brazil, behind international veterans Marcel Souza andOscar Schmidt, who accounted for 55 of Brazil's 66 second halfpoints, stormed back to capture the win, 120-115. The 29-year oldSchmidt put on an offensive display not many will ever forget, scor-ing 35 second-half points to help lead Brazil to its shocking 120-115victory over the United States. Schmidt finished the game with 46points (7-15 3-pt. FGs), and Souza added 31. Despite foul trouble,which limited his playing time to 15 of the game's 40 minutes,Robinson led the U.S. with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while the U.S.scoring was rounded out with Chapman adding 17, Willie Anderson16, Manning 14, Pervis Ellison 13 (12 rebounds) and Keith Smarttossed in 12.

NINTH PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 1983Caracas, VenezuelaAugust 14-29, 1983

Featuring a roster filled with future professionals, the 1983USA Pan American team, coached by Kansas State's JackHartman, was as talented a group as any assembled in the histo-ry of the Pan American Games. Tested in several games, theUnited States' solid play offensively as well as defensively car-ried the team to an unblemished 8-0 record, its third consecutivegold medal, and extended the U.S. win streak to 28 games.

The USA was led by several future NBA standouts -- 6-6Michael Jordan, 5-11 Mark Price, 6-9 Wayman Tisdale and 6-9Sam Perkins. Jordan finished the competition averaging 17.3ppg., while Tisdale pumped in 15.5 ppg. and Perkins added 13.1ppg. Tisdale and Perkins also topped the U.S. in rebounding,grabbing 7.1 rpg. and 5.9 rpg., respectively.

This USA team flirted with disaster from the start. Outsideshooting threat Chris Mullin was forced home before Pan Amcompetition began after fracturing his foot in an exhibition gamein San Juan. The USA ranks were further reduced when insideforce Michael Cage returned home after two games because ofan illness in his family.

Opening against Mexico, the U.S. men spotted Mexico a 20-4 advantage before rallying to overcome 40.0 percent shoot-ing from the field and capturing a 74-63 win. The Americans'second win was another come-from-behind effort as a Jordan

slam as time expired insured the USA's 72-69 win over Brazil.Facing host Venezuela, the USA found itself in another struggle.However, Georgia Tech sophomore guard Mark Price steppedforward and provided the U.S. with the needed spark, scoring 17points on 8-of-13 shooting to help lift the USA to a 78-65 victo-ry.

Advancing into the final round, the U.S. rolled past Canada111-97 as Tisdale exploded for 29 points and 12 rebounds. Then,behind Tisdale's 19 points and 18 more from Jordan, the U.S.handed Mexico an 81-68 loss. Next the U.S. recorded a convinc-ing 88-68 victory over Argentina as Jordan accounted for 24points.

Balanced scoring was the key to the USA's second win overBrazil. Earning an 87-79 win, six U.S. players scored in doubledigits, including 16 from Jordan and 16 from University ofKentucky guard James Master. Price and Tisdale each added 12,and Perkins and Leon Wood tossed in 10 apiece. Closing out thecompetition against Puerto Rico, the U.S. scored a 101-85 victo-ry as Tisdale scored 20 points and Perkins added 18 points and11 rebounds.

EIGHTH PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 1979San Juan, Puerto Rico

July 1-15, 1979

The 1979 Pan American team was one of the United States'youngest and most explosive squads ever. Behind the coaching ofIndiana University's Bob Knight, the USA cruised to a 9-0 recordand the gold medal, while averaging 100.8 ppg. It marked the firsttime that a United States team had averaged more than 100 ppg. inthe Pan American Games.

The high-powered offense of the U.S. featured five playerswho finished the competition averaging in double figures. Led by6-5 Indiana University junior Mike Woodson, who averaged 18.3ppg., collegiate All-Americans 6-7 Michael Brooks and 6-2 KyleMacy contributed 17.4 ppg. and 12.1 ppg., respectively, whileMike O'Koren and Ronnie Lester also averaged in double figures.The USA's talent-laced roster also featured Minnesota juniorKevin McHale and recent high school graduates Ralph Sampsonand Isiah Thomas, who would all go on to stardom in the NBA.

Defeating the Virgin Islands 136-88, the USA was led byWoodson's 24 points, while O'Koren and Brooks each tossed in 21points and Lester added 20. Knight's cagers handed Cuba an 85-53setback as Brooks scored 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting from thefield, while Lester accounted for 14 points and Sampson added 10points.

Brazil proved a much tougher opponent, but behind a balancedscoring attack that featured five players scoring in double figures,

including 19 from Brooks and 17 from Macy, the U.S. recorded an82-78 victory. McHale's 17 points and seven rebounds helped liftthe U.S. over Panama 88-83, and Macy's 17 points pushed theAmericans to a 97-76 win over Canada. Woodson tallied a high of30 points in the USA's 99-73 win over Argentina, then recorded29-point showings in wins against Cuba and Brazil.

The United States clinched its seventh gold medal in eightattempts with a 113-94 victory over host Puerto Rico. Facing anoutstanding team from Puerto Rico that had also compiled a per-fect 8-0 mark prior to the Pan Am final, the U.S. relied on its bal-anced but high-powered offense for the win. Brooks led the USAteam in its win over Puerto Rico compiling 27 points and 13rebounds, while Indiana standout Woodson and future Hoosiergreat Thomas added 23 and 21 points, respectively.

The winning of the gold medal did not take place without con-troversy. The first incident was the ejection of coach Knight fromthe opening game against the Virgin Islands, a contest that the U.S.went on to win 136-88. Knight also later had a run-in with apoliceman at a practice session.

SEVENTH PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 1975Mexico City, MexicoOctober 12-26, 1975

The USA team that traveled to Mexico City in 1975 waslooking to rebound the U.S. from its disappointing performancefour years earlier when the USA failed to advance to the medalround despite a 2-1 preliminary record. This time the tournamentsetup had been altered, and for the first time in Pan AmericanGames competition a round-robin format was used.

The 1975 USA group, coached by Marv Harshman of theUniversity of Washington, relied on a balanced offensive attackthat averaged 98.8 ppg. without an offensive "star," while com-piling a perfect record of 9-0 and capturing the gold medal.

Future NCAA All-Americans Otis Birdsong and ErnieGrunfeld, headed the USA's balanced offensive attack, averaging14.4 ppg. and 12.2 ppg., respectively, while little known andfuture NBA All-Star Robert Parish, Norm Cook and JohnnyDavis also averaged double figures for the gold-medal USAteam. Parish and Leon Douglas finished as the USA's leadingrebounders.

Behind balanced scoring that saw all 12 USA players score,including 24 points from Cook, the U.S. opened the '75 Gameswith a 103-62 win over Argentina. Meeting host Mexico andplaying in front of 15,000 at the Sports Palace, the USA whippedMexico 99-70 as Birdsong scored 18 to lead the U.S.

Although Puerto Rico would earn the silver medal in 1975, it

proved no match for the U.S. as the Americans cruised to an85-53 win behind Bridsong's 18 points. Limiting Venezuela to10 first half points, the U.S. led 43-10 at halftime and sailed toan easy 97-32 win as Birdson and Douglas tossed in 15 and 14 points each. Playing its fifth game in six days, the USA continued to roll as Grunfield and Cook each recorded 12 points,and the U.S. posted an 87-62 win over defending gold medalistBrazil.

With the U.S. backcourt of Davis and Birdsong accountingfor 19 and 18 points, respectively, the U.S. recorded a hardfought 84-73 victory over Canada. Cuba gave the U.S. its tough-est test of the Games, but Parish dominated the inside in theUSA's 84-78 victory. Parish, who scored 19 points and hauleddown eight rebounds, limited Cuba's Pedro Chappe, who hadbeen outstanding in Cuba's upset of the USA in 1971, to just 12points and two rebounds.

Closing strong, the Virgin Islands were crushed 137-70 asBruce Parkinson led the way with 25 points, and nine U.S. play-ers scored in double digits. Behind 17 points from 7-1 Wayne“Tree” Rollins, the U.S. finished with a 113-55 victory over theBahamas, in a game in which all 11 available U.S. men scoredand seven reached double digits.

SIXTH PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 1971Cali, Colombia

July 25 - August 8, 1971

Cali, Colombia, was the site of the 1971 Pan AmericanGames, and the Games proved to be an event that the UnitedStates would soon wish to forget. Despite a record of 2-1 in thepreliminary round, the USA did not advance to the medal roundand, for the first time in Pan American history, did not win thegold medal.

The 1971 Pan American Games basketball competition weremarked by several controversies. The first controversy regardedthe seeding of the teams by the organizing committee. Relyingon three preliminary groups (two consisting of four teams, oneconsisting of five teams), the top two finishers of each prelimi-nary group were to advance on to the medal round.

The four strongest teams heading into the competition wereconceded to be Brazil, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the United States.But Brazil, Cuba and the United States were all placed in thesame preliminary group. The three teams finished the prelimi-nary round with identical records of 2-1, however, the USA waseliminated on the basis of margins of victory.

Adding further controversy was the knowledge that the onlyway Brazil and Cuba could advance over the U.S. was if Brazildefeated Cuba by five points in the final preliminary-roundgame. That's exactly what happened as Brazil won 73-68,

although Brazil had an 11-point lead with 1:50 remaining in thegame.

Carrying a 24-game win streak into the 1971 Pan AmericanGames competition, the United States' squad, despite having sixplayers score in double figures, dropped its opening game toCuba, 73-69. 6-7 Pedro Chappe, a 10-year veteran of the Cubanteam, led his squad to the upset with 25 points.

The USA followed that loss with an 81-79 overtime winagainst Brazil, Brazil's only loss of the competition. 6-9 futureNBA legend Bob McAdoo provided the U.S. with the winningmargin, hitting a field goal with 15 seconds left in overtime. TheUSA's winning cause was further assisted by the USA's 15-of-19shooting from the foul line.

Closing out its preliminary group play with a 128-48 thump-ing of Surinam, the USA, Brazil and Cuba all finished the pre-liminary rounds with identical 2-1 win-loss records. Relying onthe point differentials between the tied teams (Brazil, Cuba,USA), the U.S. failed to advance on to the medal round. And so,for the first time in the history of the Pan American Games, ateam other than the United States returned home with the goldmedal as Brazil claimed the title with a narrow 73-71 defeat ofPuerto Rico in the finals.

FIFTH PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 1967Winnipeg, Canada

July 24 - August 6, 1967

The United States' 131-43 opening victory over Colombiawas an early indication of just how powerful this team would be.

The USA swept through the preliminary and medal rounds tocapture the '67 Games gold medal with an unblemished recordof 9-0. Winning its nine games by an average margin of victoryof 43.6 points, the U.S. extended its Pan American Games win-ning streak to 24 straight games.

The United States' squad, which was coached by Hal Fischerwho had guided the 1951 USA Pan American Games team to itsgold medal finish, was led by the all-around play of two-timeLouisville All-American (1968, 1967) and future NBA all-starWes Unseld. Unseld's 11.6 ppg. average (third on the team),along with his rebounding and passing helped lead the USA toits gold medal finish.

However, Unseld was not the only future NBA standout tocontribute heavily to the 1967 squad. 6-3 Jo Jo White, whowould go on to star on the 1968 USA Olympic team and in theNBA, and Darel Carrier of Western Kentucky University alsowere key factors as they topped the USA in scoring with aver-ages of 13.9 ppg. and 12.0 ppg., respectively.

The Americans dominated their preliminary round opponents, easily winning all four games by a dominating margin of victory that was over 55 points per contest.

Opening the preliminary round with an 131-43 thumping ofColombia, the U.S. squad finished the preliminary round withthree additional impressive one-sided victories. Pounding Peru93-37, the U.S. ran roughshould over Panama 122-73, andclosed out the preliminary round with an 80-52 decision overPuerto Rico.

The medal round proved almost as easy as the U.S. sailedpast its competition to claim the gold. Leading Cuba by just fourpoints at half, 40-36, behind the play of Carrier, the U.S. brokethe game open in the second half and went on to claim a 91-71win, with Carrier accounting for a USA single-game scoringrecord 32 points. Panama was handed a 90-44 setback by theU.S. contingent, and with five U.S. players scoring in doublefigures, the U.S. easily discarded of Puerto Rico for the secondtime, 89-53.

Argentina was unable to slow the U.S. in a 106-55 loss, andthe U.S. locked up the gold medal by defeating Mexico 93-74.

FOURTH PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 1963Sao Paulo, Brazil

April 20 - May 5, 1963

The United States entered the 1963 Pan American Games inSao Paulo, Brazil, with the goal of winning the USA's fourthgold medal in as many tries. Winning six games by an averagemargin of almost 30 points, the USA successfully defended itschampionship, captured the gold medal and extended its PanAmerican Games winning streak to 15 consecutive games. But,as had been the case in each of the previous Pan AmericanGames, the USA's gold medal did not come easily.

Head coach Garland Pinholster of Oglethorpe (GA)University guided the squad to one impressive win after another.The closest contest for the American cagers in their six gameswas a 12-point victory over Brazil.

Opening against Puerto Rico, 6-8 Ohio State junior all-American Gary Bradds scored a team high 17 points, and 6-10future NBA all-star Willis Reed tossed in 15 points as the U.S.handled Puerto Rico 93-65.

Behind a 14-point effort from Bradds and 12 points fromboth Melvin Peterson and Jerry Shipp, the U.S. ran by Canada80-47. Shipp and 6-4 Edgar Smallwood accounted for 18 and 14points, respectively, as the Americans overwhelmed Peru 104-56. A balanced scoring effort that saw every USA player scorewas key in the USA's 65-52 win over Uruguay, and Mexico waslittle problem as Shipp and Lucious Jackson each scored 18

points to pace the U.S. to its 96-54 win.Facing host Brazil in the final, it was reported that an esti-

mated 30,000 fans jammed the 18,500 capacity stadium for thegold medal game. Leading by five points at half, 36-31, the U.S.team pulled away in the third quarter and went on to record a78-66 victory. Shipp led the USA with a game high 22 points,however, it was the smallest member of the U.S. squad, 5-8Vincent Ernst of Providence College, who was credited forpaving the way for the U.S. victory over Brazil. Scoring a totalof 24 points in the USA's first five games, Ernst accounted for12 points in the final and was credited with numerous assists andsteals, while limiting Brazil's two-time Olympian WlamirMarques to just six points in the first three quarters of play.

However, the game was not without controversy. Following ascuffle between a Brazilian and USA player late in the game, thecrowd proceeded to litter the floor with oranges, paper, icecream cones and other debris delaying the game's conclusion.

The 6-6 Shipp and 6-6 Donald Kojis led the gold medal win-ners averaging 15.0 ppg. and 11.5 ppg., respectively, while 6-8Bradds, 6-3 Melvin Gibson and Reed rounded out the USA bal-anced offensive attack. Unfortunately, Walter Torrence wasforced to return to the United States after playing in the firstthree games of the tournament because of a death in the family.

THIRD PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 1959Chicago, Illinois, USA

August 27 - September 7, 1959

Held in Chicago, Illinois, 1959 marked the first time that the PanAmerican Games were held in the USA. Coach Fred Schaus of WestVirginia and his 14-member squad marched through the competitionwith a perfect 6-0 record to capture the USA's third consecutive PanAmerican Games basketball gold.

For the first time in Pan American Games competition, the USAteam was selected in the same manner as the 1956 U.S. Olympic teamwas. Two all-star teams, one of college players selected by a specialcommittee at the end of the NCAA Tournament and a service squadchosen after the inter-service tournament, plus the first two teams inthe National AAU Tournament, met in a three night round-robin tour-nament.

The college all-stars topped the competition with a 3-0 record andwere followed by the AAU Phillips 66ers (2-1), Wichita Vickers (1-2)and the Armed Forces (0-3). The two AAU teams had been furtherstrengthened by the addition of players from other AAU teams thatcompeted in the AAU Tournament. From the tryout, five collegianswere selected, three players from the U.S. Armed Forces and six play-ers from AAU teams were named to the 1959 U.S. Pan AmericanGames roster. Schaus, who directed the College All-Stars, was namedhead coach and Warren Womble of the AAU Peoria Caterpillars, whohad served as head coach of the 1952 USA Olympic team, served asSchaus' assistant.

Led by then standout collegians and future NBA legends OscarRobertson and Jerry West, the closest any team came to the United

States was 14 points when Brazil fell to the U.S. men 93-79 in the finalcontest. Boasting a high powered offense, the USA team also featureda solid defense which limited four of its six opponents to fewer than 58points. The U.S. squad won their six games by an average of 39.5points.

Opening against Canada, Robertson scored 21 points and Westadded 15 more as the U.S. earned a 93-73 victory. A balanced offen-sive attack that saw 13 of 14 USA players score lifted the Americanspast Puerto Rico 89-57. Cuba was no problem as the U.S., behind 19points from Daniel Swartz, sailed to a 114-46 win. El Salvador fell101-42 to the USA squad as Burdette Haldorson led the U.S. with 14points. Mexico was next to fall as Jack Adams tossed in 15 points inthe USA's 101-57 win.

In its closest encounter, a 93-79 victory, the U.S. broke open itscontest with Brazil early, commanding a 11-4 lead after just four min-utes, a 27-11 advantage after 10 minutes and a 51-35 lead at halftime.The "Big O" (Robertson) led the U.S. with 29 points and played justthree quarters, while George BonSalle added 19 points, and West andGary Thompson each scored 11.

The 6-5 Robertson, a three-time college All-American atCincinnati (1958-60) led the team in scoring, averaging 16.5 ppg.,while the 6-3 West, a two-time college All-American at West Virginia(1959-60), averaged 11.3 ppg. Swartz also averaged in double figuresfor the USA, at 10.2 ppg.

SECOND PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 1955Mexico City, MexicoMarch 12-26, 1955

After capturing the gold medal in the inaugural Pan AmericanGames, the United States entered the 1955 Games at Mexico City,Mexico, eager to repeat. Although the USA suffered its first defeat inPan American competition, the team regrouped and won its final threegames to capture the 1955 gold medal.

As was the case in 1951, selection of the 1955 USA Pan AmericanGames basketball team was again no easy task. Originally, the U.S.Olympic Committee announced that the 1955 Pan American Gamesteam would consist of five AAU players, four college players and fiveplayers from the Armed Forces.

But because of the game's March competition dates, college stu-dent-athletes could not compete. Instead, the U.S. Olympic Committeedecided that the 1955 team would consist of seven players from theAAU and seven players from the U.S. Armed Forces. The 1954 AAUchampion Peoria Caterpillars were unavailable because they were rep-resenting the USA at the 1955 World Championship, so the 1954 AAUrunner-up Grihalva Buicks of San Diego, Calif., were chosen. A campfeaturing 20 of the Armed Forces' top players was held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (OH) to determine the Armed Forces' sevenplayers.

A series of games between the Grihalva Buicks and the ArmedForces took place in San Diego to determine who would serve as headcoach. Lt. Norman Pilgrim was selected as the head coach after hisarmed forces team claimed two wins over the AAU team, and AAUcoach Fon Johnson was named the assistant.

Opening the round-robin competition facing Brazil, the U.S. led30-27 at half and broke the game wide open in the second half andwent on to claim a 78-49 win as Melvin Kelley and Donald Byrdpaced the U.S. with 14 and 13 points each. Facing Argentina next, theUSA squad fell behind early and at half trailed 29-23. Argentinaexpanded its lead to as many as 12 midway in the third quarter, but theU.S. rallied and took a one-point lead with about a minute to play.However, three consecutive turnovers doomed the U.S. to its first loss,54-53. Byrd led the U.S. with 19 points, while Robert Williams added14.

The U.S. regrouped to claim convincing wins in its final threegames. Behind Robert Kenney's 17 points and 15 points from JohnHoverder, the U.S. easily disposed of host Mexico 85-55. Cuba provedno problem either, and the Americans won 84-56 as Williams poured in24 points to lead the way. The USA's final game was another lopsidedvictory as the U.S. captured a 72-29 win over Venezuela. Williamsscored 16 points, and 12 of the USA's 14 players scored.

Thanks to Brazil's 61-57 win over Argentina, the United States,Brazil and Argentina all finished with identical records of 4-1 and in athree-way tie for first. The final medal standings were determined onthe point spread between the three teams in their games against eachother. Relying on this system, the United States was declared the win-ner of the gold medal with a plus 28, while Argentina, with a minusthree, earned the silver and Brazil, minus 25, was awarded the bronze.

FIRST PAN AMERICAN GAMES -- 1951Buenos Aires, Argentina

February 25 - March 8, 1951

As an international power, the United States was the favoriteto win the gold medal at the first Pan American Games, held in1951 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Behind the expertise of co-coaches Hal Fischer of the AAU Blue 'n Gold (Oakland, Calif.)and John Longfellow of Indiana State, the USA proved everyoneright as it rolled to a 6-0 record and the inaugural Pan Americangold medal.

Selection of the U.S. team may have been the USA's biggesthurdle. With competition slated for February - March, many col-lege student-athletes could not participate because of classes.Because the Games' dates were announced too late for tryouts,the Olympic Basketball Committee decided to select two coach-managers and a team of 14 with seven from the NCAA andseven from the AAU. The committee's first choice to representthe NCAA was the 1950 NCAA tournament champion (NYCC),with the runner-up a second choice. Third choice was the winnerof the 1950 NIT Tournament (NYCC), and the winner of theNAIB Tournament was the fourth alternative. After NYCC andBradley turned down the offer to participate, NAIB champ,Indiana State, accepted. The Phillips Oilers, winners of thenational AAU tournament in Denver in 1950, also declined, sothe AAU's runner-up team, Blue 'n Gold, agreed to go along

with their coach Hal Fischer.The U.S. team relied on strong rebounding and the fast-break

to power its offense and played aggressive man-to-man defense.After defeating its first five opponents rather easily, the averagemargin of victory in the first five games was more than 25points, and the United States faced host Argentina in the final.

Played at 1 a.m., more than 25,000 fans packed Luna ParkArena, and it was reported thousands more waited outside. Thegold medal game appeared to be a run-away as the USA teamjetted out to a 26-8 lead. But foul trouble began to slow theAmericans, and by the half the U.S. lead had dwindled to 29-23.Four of the USA's top players fouled out early in the second half(Barksdale, Faszholz, Powell and Leslie), and with just fourminutes left, the U.S. held a narrow 50-48 lead. Turning to thestall, the USA escaped with a 57-51 win to capture the firstmen's basketball gold medal of the Pan American Games.

The United States' inaugural Pan American Games team wasled by the scoring of Blue 'n Gold team members DonaldBarksdale and Charles O'Neill. Barksdale poured in 22.5 ppg.,while O'Neill added 10.7 ppg. To this day, Barksdale remains theonly USA player to average more than 20 ppg. in the PanAmerican Games.
