Talk:Americas Championships 2005
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Standings
I can not figure out why FIBA Americas has Panama with a 2-7 record and is missing wins for almost all of the countries. I cannot understand why a 5-3 Panama team was bypassed for a 4-4 United States team for the knockout round. I cannot figure out why that 4-4 United States team would be seeded above either the 5-3 Brazil or 5-3 Venezuela team. If someone can explain this (I left above the standings the obvious problems), I'd be greatly appreciative. Pat Maher 02:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
To answer my own question, FIBA Americas seems to have done their standings wrong. USA Basketball has the right standings at http://www.usabasketball.com/men/2005/05_mtoa_results.html that make sense by removing games against Canada and Mexico from the standings.
