What’s the format of the Olympics basketball tournament?

The Summer Olympics' basketball format places 12 nations in three groups of four. Each team plays three games (one against each team in their group).

Each group's first- and second-place teams advance to the knockout round as well as the two best third-place finishers. The remaining four teams are eliminated after the group stage.

The quarterfinal matchups are determined by a draw, where the three first-place teams and the best second-place team are in one pot and the remaining teams in another. Matchups for the quarterfinals cannot include a rematch from group play.

Once those matchups are set, the remainder of the event is played in single-elimination, tournament format. Though the losers of the semifinals do play an extra game to determine the bronze-medal winner.

How many gold medals has Team USA won?

Team USA's men's basketball team has won 15 gold medals in Olympic history. It won the silver medal in 1972 (Soviet Union won gold) and two bronze medals in1988 and 2004.
