In what should be one of the better matchups of the 2024 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments (OQTs), Puerto Rico will host Mexico in the semifinals of the Puerto Rico OQTs on Saturday.
The Sporting News has everything you need to know about how to watch the Puerto Rico vs. Mexico in this all-important Olympic qualifier, including game time, streaming information for the game, and full team rosters.
Puerto Rico enjoyed convincing wins over Italy and Bahrain to get to this point, while Mexico needed an 11-point victory over the Ivory Coast on Thursday to earn a semifinals berth. The home squad should have plenty of support from the raucous San Juan crowd, which has helped fuel the often-unstoppable backcourt duo of Jose Alvarado and Tremont Waters.
