VICTORIA — The Czech Republic ended Canada's hopes for a berth in the Tokyo Olympics Saturday with a 103-101 overtime win at a last-chance men's basketball qualifying event in Victoria.
Czech captain Tomas Satoransky scored with 1.4 seconds left on the clock to seal the win for the Czechs, who will now play either Greece or Turkey in Sunday's final.
The Canadians were down nine points with 44 seconds to go in regulation but stormed back, capped with a basket from Andrew Wiggins that tied the game at 94-94 with less than three seconds left, forcing the extra time.
