_____ Men's Basketball _____
 Olympics
Where: HOSC Indoor Arena, OAKA Olympic Indoor Hall.
When: Aug. 15-28.
Medals: Gold, silver and bronze awarded to players, but not coaches, from top three teams.
Outlook: The United States is a perennial favorite, but many of the best American players withdrew from the team or turned down invitations. Defending world champion Serbia-Montenegro and 2003 European champion Lithuania are among the favorites, and Spain and Argentina will field strong, experienced teams.
