Behind the play of 6-foot-10 Bill Russell and 6-foot-1 K. C. Jones, two key players on the University of San Francisco's 1956 NCAA national championship team, the USA proved that it was still far ahead of the rest of the world in the American-originated sport. The United States averaged nearly 100 points a game, actually surpassing the century mark in four of eight games, as it earned a fourth-straight gold medal.
