About the UTSA Roadrunners
Last Saturday at the Convocation Center, acting head coach Nick Bowman led the Roadrunners to their first win of the 2026-27 campaign, grinding their way back in the second half against a VMI team that wouldn’t give UTSA space for big runs – the game producing 11 lead changes and seven ties. UTSA looks to take that momentum on the road to a challenging West Coast Conference opponent that won 21 games last season.
Through two games, UTSA averages 72.0 ppg on 42.3 percent shooting, leaning heavily on the perimeter with an American Conference fourth-most 9.5 threes per game. UTSA also has used defense to create opportunities, ranking 23rd nationally with 19.5 turnovers forced and 9.5 steals per game. Emerging with consistency through the first week of action, junior point guard KJ Tenner is averaging 12.5 points, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals, shooting 52.9 percent from the floor. With more depth than past seasons, UTSA is mixing up minutes and that has led to diversity in the top scorers. Against VMI, graduate student guard Demari Williams and junior point guard Josiah LeGree each reached 14 points alongside Tenner. LeGree averages 10.5 points and 3.0 assists, while Williams notches 8.0 points and not only hit the go-ahead three, but made the assist on Preston Turner’s insurance triple with eight seconds remaining in the VMI win. Looking for a breakout in his homecoming, senior Isaiah Watts is a West Seattle High School graduate, his grandfather played for the Seattle SuperSonics and he started his career at Washington State – so far, he’s averaging 5.0 ppg with 1.5 spg and 1.0 rpg.
About the Seattle U Redhawks
Entering the week at 1-1 in the sixth season under Chris Victor, the Redhawks are coming off a 21-14 season that reached the second round of the NIT. Seattle started the preseason with an exhibition win at Oregon, but had to rally from 16 down in a 74-73 loss at Hawaii. Seattle handled Portland State thanks to 84 percent shooting in the second half that secured a 79-60 win in the Redhawks’ home opener. Seattle averages 76.0 points on 50.9 percent shooting with minimal threes, but creates fast break opportunities with a 17.5 ppg average in transition.
The reigning WCC Defensive Player of the Year, senior forward Will Heimbrodt is in his third season with Seattle. Logging 90 blocks last season and he’s already got four this year, he’s averaging a team-leading 19.0 ppg on 66.7 percent shooting, along with 4.5 rpg and 3.0 apg. Former Eastern Washington standout Mason Williams was injured last season at Iowa State but is already off to a 19.0 ppg start, shooting 46.2 percent from the field and topping SU with five threes – in addition to 4.5 rebounds. Cincinnati transfer center Halvine Dzellat tops the team with 9.0 rpg, along with 11.5 ppg and has already proven to be a challenging presence in the post.
Series History
The Redhawks have a 2-1 series advantage, but the Roadrunners have a 1-0 record at Seattle. It was a mere three-point decision last season at the Convocation Center. UTSA rallied from 14 down at the half to take a late lead, but the Redhawks flipped back in front and held on for the 71-68 finish after a costly UTSA turnover and a missed final three. Previously, the Roadrunners traveled to the Redhawk Center during the program’s lone season in the WAC, coming out ahead in Jan. 2013 with a 78-75 victory on a Michael Hale III homecoming – the Federal Way High School graduate scoring 35 points on 9-of-18 shooting and 16-of-17 at the line.
