These are the accurate game times, so I'm sticking it to the top.

Keep in mind, these are CENTRAL TIME.

I'm not so sure that these are accurate. NBA.com is listing the US game for 3:30 and Argentina-Spain for 6:30.

From ESPN:

FIBA switched the Americans and Greeks into the early semifinal slot to ensure a larger television audience in Europe, where the Spain-Argentina game will begin in the late morning or early afternoon.
