... in 1948, the U.S. Olympic basketball team barrelled through their round robin play with a 66-28 beatdown of the Egypt Pyramids. The victory helped clinch a berth in the elimination side of the tournament. The Kentucky players didn't enter the game until the second half of the Egyptian thrashing because the head coach preferred to play the Cats as a unit. The win cemented the Americans as the favorite for the gold medal, as well as dominators of the world in general.
