Women's Basketball Team Scores on Wrong Hoop, Other Team Tries to Do the Same

If you get confused watching this clip of a basketball game between Mexico and Slovakia, you are not alone.

After a Slovakia player missed a pair of free throws, Mexico grabbed the rebound. All of a sudden, neither team wanted to shoot at the proper basket.

A Mexico player made an easy, uncontested layup at the same basket that Slovakia had just shot free throws at. (In this FIBA video, you can see that Mexico received two points for the layup.) Oddly, Slovakia then dribbled the ball down to the other end of the court as if that's what was supposed to happen.

Oh, this didn't happen during a pickup game. It happened during the women's 2014 FIBA U17 Basketball World Championship.

A player may occasionally shoot at the wrong hoop. However, it's pretty shocking that the opposing team and the referees went along with it like there was nothing wrong.
