Ethan Lasko temporarily extended Manhattan s season thanks to a wild buzzer beater that sent his team into overtime against Fairfield in the first round of the MAAC tournament.
However, Manhattan ended up losing, 59–58, in the final moments of the extra frame.
Fairfield was leading, 50–47, with 4.4 seconds remaining in regulation. Following a Manhattan timeout, Ant Nelson passed the ball in from the sidelines to Samir Stewart. The junior guard tried to find an opening, but once he crossed the three-point line, Stewart passed it to Lasko.
With 0.3 seconds on the clock, the senior guard quickly threw the ball to the basket in a last-ditch effort, only for it to drop in without a bounce.
Tuesday Night marked the return of March Madness to Boardwalk Hall when Manhattan s Ethan Lasko nailed a 30-foot three point jumper right before the buzzer to tie the game at 50, sending the First Round MAAC Tournament Game into Overtime. Yes, there were games played earlier in the day, but Boardwalk Hall seemed to come alive with a feeling that had not been seen in Atlantic City in 12 months. At that moment, it didn t matter if you were a fan of Manhattan or Fairfield or if you were working security or if you were seated at the Socially Distanced Media Row, every person reacted when Lasko hit the shot and it was in that moment I knew for sure: Normalcy is almost back in South Jersey.
