BASKETBALL (MEN)
The semifinals will pit the Dream Team against surprising Australia and Yugoslavia vs. Lithuania.

Anfernee Hardaway scored 14 points, Scottie Pippen 13, Reggie Miller 12 and Shaquille O'Neal 11. Pippen's defense on Schmidt, who had 26 points but only seven in the second half, also was a factor. It was the last stand for the 38-year-old Schmidt, the only Olympian with 1,000 career points.
Tony Ronaldson's four-point play with 34 seconds to play helped Australia upset Croatia 73-71 in the quarterfinals. Andrew Gaze scored 26 points for the Aussies, who made all the big plays against a Croat team that won the 1992 silver medal and features NBA standouts Toni Kukoc and Dino Radja.
Lithuania, the 1992 bronze medalist, beat Greece 99-66 and Yugoslavia defeated China 128-61.

Cauthen scored often with right hands in a tactical fight in beating Thailand's Veongviact Phongsit 14-10 in the lightweight division. Jones routed Tao Jiang of China 21-4 at 201 pounds.

Mike Harbold also needed the repechage to qualify for the 1,000 canoe semifinal.
DIVING
Americans Melisa Moses and Jenny Keim advanced to the springboard semifinal, while two near-bellyflops put world champion Tan Shuping of China out of the competition.

SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING
The U.S. team moved into the lead with an almost flawless routine during the technical round of competition. The Americans, using a medley centered around "When The Saints Go Marching In," scored three perfect 10s, two for technical merit and one for artistic impression. Those were the only 10s awarded.
The technical round counts for 35 percent of the total score. The five-minute freestyle programs, which count for the rest of the scoring, will be held Friday.
