FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Purdue Fort Wayne's Damian Chong Qui made a buzzer-beater from just past mid-court to defeat Wright State 77-75 on Sunday (Feb. 19) in Horizon League men's basketball play.
Chong Qui's shot came after Wright State's Trey Calvin put the Raiders up one at 75-74 with 2.8 seconds left in the game. It was Wright State's only lead of the game. The 'Dons quickly inbounded the ball to Chong Qui after Calvin's basket. Chong Qui raced up court, set his feet on the U of the Purdue Fort Wayne logo and let the ball go with .4 left on the clock. He fell to the court as he watched the shot go in and waited for his teammates to mob him.
The Mastodons took a lead as large as 12 in the first half before ending the first 20 minutes with a 37-32 advantage. Godfrey and Chong Qui led the 'Dons with eight each in the first half. Wright State shot 63.0 percent (17-of-27) in the second half to chip away at the deficit. They tied it at 70 with 2:28 left before Quinton Morton-Robertson and Ra Kpedi added layups to give the Mastodons a 74-70 advantage with 57 seconds left. Brandon Noel hit a 3-pointer seven seconds later to make the score 74-73. That is how it stayed before Calvin and Chong Qui traded baskets in the final seconds.
Chong Qui finished with 16 points. Jarred Godfrey had a game-high 25 points with six steals, five rebounds and three assists. Chong Qui, Godfrey, Bobby Planutis and Ra Kpedi were honored prior to the game as part of Senior Day festivities. Kpedi tied a career high with 15 rebounds while Planutis totaled seven points.
Wright State falls to 16-13 (9-9 Horizon League). Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 16-13 (8-10 Horizon League). The 'Dons will hit the road to Milwaukee on Thursday (Feb. 23) in an 8:30 p.m. ET start.
