Hows does Olympic Basketball scheduling work?

Not a fan of the Olympics ever since the hack a Duncan was allowed in 2004 then they turned around and called fouls against him for lesser things.

But I am interested this year just for Argentina's sake. I want them out, and out quick and Manu to be sent back to SA ASAP.

Therefor I ask, how does the scheduling work? When will the games take place?

my educated guess is, first of all, you will need to learn chinese...

Group A: Argentina, Australia, Croatia, Iran, Lithuania and Russia.
Group B: Angola, China, Germany, Greece, Spain and U.S.A.

Each team plays each other team in its group once.

The top four teams from each group qualify for the quarterfinals.
