The Seattle U Men’s Basketball team had a thrilling victory over the University of Washington on Wednesday night, thanks to a last-second shot from Alex Schumacher. With just seconds left on the clock, Schumacher drove to the basket and put up a layup that went in as the buzzer sounded. The shot gave Seattle U a one-point lead and the win.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading leads throughout the second half. UW had a two-point lead with just seconds remaining, but Schumacher was able to get the ball and drive to the basket for the game-winning shot.
Schumacher’s heroics capped off a great night for the Seattle U team, as they were able to get the win despite being without their leading scorer, guard Isiah Umipig. Umipig was sidelined due to an ankle injury, but his teammates were able to step up and make up for his absence.
Schumacher’s last-second shot was the highlight of the night, but it was far from the only great play from the Seattle U team. Forward Jarell Flora had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while guard Mateo Diaz had a team-high 17 points.
The win was a huge boost for Seattle U, as it was their first win over UW in five years. It was also a great way for Schumacher to end his college career, as he is set to graduate this spring.
The Seattle U Men’s Basketball team will look to build on this win as they prepare for their next game against Portland State on Saturday. With Schumacher’s last-second shot still fresh in their minds, they’ll be looking to carry that momentum into their next game and keep their winning streak alive.
