Ongwae s buzzer-beater shocks Angola as Kenya return to AfroBasket after 28-year wait
YAOUNDE (Cameroon) - Cometh the hour, cometh the man. On what was Kenya s biggest night in the continental basketball for close to three decades, Tylor Ongwae stepped up and shouldered the aspirations of the Morans AfroBasket dream.
A game that had looked void of any suspense came to a very dramatic end thanks to the genius of the small forward.
With five seconds down the clock and a slim 73-72 lead for Angola, the ball was delivered to the Morans captain, he conjured a body feint, his opponent fell for it, the path cleared and he hammered home a last gasp shot.

Kenya Morans will be seeking to avenge their first leg loss against Senegal when they take on the West African giants in their Group ‘B’ of the last round of the 2021 FIBA Afrobasket championship qualifiers on Friday (today) in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
Morans take on Senegal for the opening match at 4PM East African Time, a team that defeated them in the first leg of qualifiers that was held in Kigali, Rwanda in November 2020.
