Shawn Roundtree led Central Michigan basketball to an overtime win against the University of Missouri - Kansas City when CMU was facing possibly back-to-back losses for the first time this season.

He scored 23 points, with 19 of them in the final 15 minutes of the game to push CMU (9-2) past UMKC (3-10) in overtime 92-86 in Kansas City on Tuesday night.

“We had to make a lot of plays in this game with a sort of banged up team to come through in a gut-check time,” said CMU head coach Keno Davis.
