The Duke basketball team gave their predictions for the Olympic podium on Saturday, and the Blue Devils resoundingly think Team USA will walk away with yet another gold medal.
The Blue Devils social media team asked every player currently in Durham for their top three, and all but one of them said the United States would win gold.
The lone holdout? [autotag]Tyrese Proctor[/autotag], who of course picked his home country of Australia.
A couple of his American teammates tried to get a rise out of Proctor with the segment as well. [autotag]Cooper Flagg[/autotag] and Mason Gillis both went out of their way to say Australia wouldn’t medal. Flagg clarified he was only messing with his point guard, but Gillis simply smiled.
The only Blue Devil not with the team right now, incoming freshman [autotag]Khaman Maluach[/autotag], will play for South Sudan in Paris. Many of his teammates decided to support him with their predictions. Gillis, Maliq Brown, and Cameron Sheffield all gave their silver medals to South Sudan.
Check out the full predictions below.
