I guess you're not really trying to get a team that could beat the Dream Team. You're trying to find a team that could lose by less than 12, and I'm not sure that could happen.
That Yugoslavia team wasn't just 4 players. Yes Drazen, Vlade, Toni, Dino were the stars but that team was deeper. And i believ that in USA most people didn't knew all the players and how good they were. Probably dream team would still win but that would be a game to watch.
Zarko Paspalj - played for Spurs in 89, euroleuge finals mvp in 94
Zoran Savić- played for Barcelona and Real Madrid, 3 time euroleague champion, euroleague best scorer in 91, euroleague mvp in 98
Predrag Danilović - maybe the best SG in europe in the 90ties, 2 time euroleague champion, euroleague mvp 92, euroleague top scorer 95, player in nba for Heat and Mavs
Aleksandar Đorđević - part of top 50 players od all time in europe, played for Barcelona, Real Madrid, and in nba for Trail Blazers, 2 time bese european player
Velimir Perasović- 5 time best scorer in spanish league, 3 time euroleague champion
Radisav Ćurčić - played for Mavs in 92
Stojko Vranković - played in NBA 5 seasons for Celtics, Clipers and Wolves

IF that team wasn't broken up because of the Yugoslavian civil war, could they have given the Dream Team a game?How many all star games between all of those players? Not as many all out together as any individual dream teamer not named Laettner.

Some good stuff here. How do you know all this information?
a bunch of college kids though (many of which did nothing in the NBA), not NBA Hall of Famers mostly in their prime.IF that team wasn't broken up because of the Yugoslavian civil war, could they have given the Dream Team a game?How many all star games between all of those players?

Okay... But that Yugoslavia team destroyed the USA team in 1990, a team that had Zo and Kenny Anderson. 2 players that individually had more all-star appearances than that entire Yugoslavia team combined. So that isn't a valid argument.
Like I said earlier in the thread, eja117 had it right. The discussion is more, "Could they have avoided being blown out" and I agree with that. Dream team obviously would have won.
