A sweeper comes onto the court at the wrong time during a basketball game between Buffalo and Kent State, erasing a Buffalo fast break.

A lowly mop hand at the game between Kent State and Buffalo, no doubt living out his existence in some Dickensian sob story, finally got his moment in the spotlight when he got in the way of a fast break.

Likely having lived his wretched life as an orphan under the care of his wicked and decrepit aunt, our poor mop boy was finally able to showcase his defensive prowess on the court, perhaps catching the eye of a wealthy benefactor.

Of course, when given the chance to elevate himself from his proletarian nightmare, he fled back from Buffalo guard Rodell Wigginton like he was running from a feral velociraptor. At least he was able to stop the Buffalo fast break, and bask in the light of stardom before slinking back into anonymity.

The stop would naturally play no factor in the outcome of the game, as Buffalo cruised to an 80-55 victory.
