The Steelers qualified for their chance at taking home gold after defeating Japan 63-57 on Sunday morning.
They didn’t put Japan away until the final quarter and Batt said the job is still not done.
“We’re not done yet; we want to settle for the gold medal, not the silver medal,” he said.
“I’ve been in this position many times and we’ve made a mistake once and got too excited so we’ll come out swinging, America is the team to beat.
“We’ve got one more game, then we can have a long break and a cold beer.”
Tip-off is 1.30am.
