Australia have guaranteed themselves a top seeding in the mens basketball quarter-finals at the Rio Olympics with a cruisy 81-56 win over Venezuela. Mens VaporMax Shoes .But its come at a cost, with Cameron Bairstow suffering an apparent shoulder injury.The former NBA forward was taken to the medical room clutching his left arm late in the third quarter of their final preliminary round game.Its unclear how serious the injury is. Even without Bairstow and NBA star Patty Mills, who was rested, the Boomers still trumped their South American opponents to secure second spot in their group behind the United States.Chris Goulding top-scored with 22 points, while Andrew Bogut - who sat out last game against China - had 10 points and Joe Ingles chipped in 11 points.The prime position means they will play a lower-ranked side from the opposing pool in the first elimination round - but who remains to be seen with final places to be decided.It wont be confirmed until the last games are played on Monday (Tuesday AEST).Australia finished fourth in their group the past two Olympics before being knocked out in the quarter-finals by the US.The last time they ranked second was Atlanta in 1996, when they came fourth.The Boomers never really looked like they were going to be troubled by the Venezuelans, who have been the least accurate shooters in the competition.The world No.22 side sunk just three from 18 shots in the first quarter, which Australia won 16-6.It improved in the second term, when the gap narrowed to just four points, but the green and gold still went into the half-time break up 32-25.They extended that to 53-43 at three-quarter time when they lost Bairstow, and held on in the fourth for the final margin. Green VaporMax . - NASCAR announced a 33-race schedule for the 2014 Nationwide Series with virtually no changes from this years slate. Cheap VaporMax China .
