Canada beat Uruguay 70-68 and Venezuela routed Panama 110-74 Wednesday in the second round of the Olympic basketball qualifying tournament for the Americas.
The games were essentially meaningless as the semifinal lineup had already been decided on Tuesday. Argentina, Puerto Rico, Brazil and the Dominican Republic have all clinched a spot in the final four, with the pairings to be determined on Thursday.
The semifinals are played Saturday, with the final scheduled for Sunday.
The two finalists qualify for next year's London Olympics. The United States has already qualified for the games after winning the world championship last year.
