2027 Basketball World Cup (Q): Cameroon surprises South Sudan

South Sudan's hopes dashed. After an impressive victory over Cape Verde in their previous match, South Sudan were stopped in their tracks by Cameroon's aggressive defense, losing 60-56 on the final day of Group C action in Radès, Tunisia.

Cameroon's defense completely stifled the Bright Stars, limiting their offense to just 56 points for a final score of 60-56. Despite a late comeback that brought the gap to just two points, Cameroon held on, securing a crucial victory to avoid falling to 1-2 in the first round.
