Hey guys, know I got a lot of flack for not having the live streaming info at my fingertips when I originally posted info about the Global Challenge. Well, I still do not know the exact link, but I know that Oregon Live will be live streaming the Final Four Games in the tournament today (Felt like saying tomorrow since I am up so early, though I will be heading back to sleep after this brief message, lol). Here is the link to Oregon Live’s Global Challenge info:

Also, here is the game schedule tomorrow, all on PST (West Coast time, so add 3 hours if you are on the East Coast, and accordingly if you are on Central, Australian or Serbian, etc.):
2 pm: Puerto Rico vs. Chinese-Taipei (7th Place Game)
4 pm: Germany vs. Brazil (5th Place Game)
6 pm: USA East vs. USA West (3rd Place Game)
8 pm: USA Midwest vs. Canada (Championship)
I have to say, I am a dual citizen who was born in Canada, so I have split allegiances. Still think that it is awesome that Canada made it this far, though. Huge win over USA East yesterday, and they will have even more of a challenge with a great Midwest team. Whenever Oregon Live finally decides to post where they will be streaming the games, I will post it on this thread, though I am sure someone else will probably create a new thread with the link as they either have not seen this one or just want credit or something to that extent, lol. Just so you know I am not lying, here was a chat transcript of yesterday during the live blog of the Canada vs. USA East game:
watkins – how do we watch this on the computer
Mike Richman, OregonLive.com: We will have a live stream for tomorrow’s games, but for now this chat is your best option.
toronto – mike you gotta get the score updated faster haha
Mike Richman, OregonLive.com: The score has been really slow to update on the scoreboard all day. (Arg!) I will do my best to post updates in the chat regularly.
I was not the Toronto guy, kind of a prick move though. I think they do a really good job on their live game blogs, it is not easy. Still, I got a lot out of the Live Streaming last year, and they did a really good job at that. Hope that people will tune in and see some fantastic prospects, and arguably 4 of the top 5 in the Class of 2013 (Aaron Gordon/Julius Randle-USA West, Nerlens Noel-USA East, Jabari Parker-USA Midwest). Not to mention, Andrew Wiggins has put up 24 and 21 in his two games thus far, should be very interesting to see the match-up of Wiggins vs. Parker. Just know that despite being in the Class of 2014, Wiggins is actually a few weeks OLDER than Parker (Wiggins born 2/23/1995, Parker born 3/15/1995). Does not mean that one is a better prospect than the other, but it certainly takes the age debate out of the equation.
