Australia's Wild FIBA Comeback Sparked By Cameroon Player Dunking on Wrong Basket

Cameroon enjoyed a six-point lead over Australia with 48.9 seconds to play on Sunday during FIBA's Under-19 Basketball World Cup. Throw in the fact that they had possession of the basketball and there was reason to feel really good about the situation. Several things would have to go horribly wrong for them to surrender such a sizable cushion in the final minute. But since you're reading this, you know they did.

In an exiplicable turn of events, Cameroon's Amadou Seini broke to receive the inbounds pass and promptly dunked it through the wrong hoop, cutting his team's advantage down to four points. Austraila would force overtime and eventually emerge with a 101-96 victory.
