LAUSANNE (Switzerland) – Amadou Seini gave everything he had in an incredible double-overtime thriller against Australia. In fact, he might have given a little too much. Overwhelmed by adrenaline, he accidentally dunked in his own basket at the end of the fourth quarter—losing focus for just a moment.
But who's really going to blame him?
He finished with 15 points, a U19 World Cup all-time high of 25 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 3 steals—earning an efficiency rating of 38. He eventually fouled out in the second overtime.
Andrew Bogut's still hold the record but now he has to share it with Amadou Seini.
