A stunner in the closing seconds of regulation before heartbreak in overtime.
Former Husker Keisei Tominaga and Japan fell to France 94-90 in OT Tuesday. The French are in control of Group B and primed to advance to the quarterfinals.
Japan made a pair of free throws to go up 84-80 with 16 seconds left. The host nation then pulled off the improbable, getting fouled on a 3-pointer. The triple went in, and so did the free throw, to tie the game.
France outscored Japan 10-6 in the extra period.
For the second consecutive game at the Paris Olympics, Nebrasketball’s Keisei Tominaga played less than a minute. This time, Tominaga saw the floor for just six seconds. With Japan now 0-2 and looking at not advancing out of the group, it might be time to get the sharpshooter some minutes.
Japan closes out the group stage against Brazil on Aug. 2.
