Reminder: 1:30pm EST ESPNU Gold Medal Game

Can anyone tell me (who watched until the end of the ceremony) what song they played during the flag hoisting ceremony? Definitely not the USA national anthem. Was this a gaff of major proportions? The announcers said nothing.

It is the WUG or FISU anthem. Announcers mentioned it briefly.

USA Wins 90-71 Much bigger margin then what was expected. Since USA loss to this Russia team in an exhibition game, many thought Russia would win game because of their superior size and play in this tournament.

Nah, we're just starting to figure out this "international play". You dog it in the exhibitions and sometimes in the Pool play, then turn it on when it really counts.

Ok, thanks. Also happens to be the tune of my high school's anthem song...the Wolcot High School war eagles! Wow, that brought back memories.
