Mali Shocks Spain at FIBA Women's World Cup The FIBA Women's World Cup has long been dominated by traditional powerhouses, but every so often, a team emerges from obscurity to shake things up.
This year, it was Mali's turn to make history. The African country pulled off an astonishing 82 73 upset over Spain, sending shockwaves throughout the basketball world.
Mali's victory marked only their second win in World Cup history, despite having a paltry 2 10 record. It was a moment of redemption for a team that had been on the receiving end of some tough losses in the past.
