    Amadou Seini had an amazing performance against Australia

    The center from Cameroon had an unbelievable game. We're about to give you more details.

    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, 24 rebounds - the second-best all-time mark in U19 World Cup history - along with 3 blocks and 3 steals, earning an efficiency rating of 37. He eventually fouled out in the second overtime.

    An hour after the game ended, his rebound total was listed as 25. However, by the next morning, the stat had been reviewed and adjusted back to 24.

    Andrew Bogut still holds the record but that was close.
