Seattle Pacific Runs Out of Gas in Final Men's Basketball Hoop Stop
September 16, 2003

BRISBANE, Australia (Sept. 16) - With less than 12 hours to recover from its previous game, a fatigued Seattle Pacific University men's basketball team was beaten 130-95 by the Brisbane Bullets of the first division National Basketball League Tuesday morning in the Falcons' fifth and final game of the international tour.

Dustin Bremerman (Fr., 6-4, Yakima, Wa./Eisenhower) topped SPU with 23 points and both Jordan Lee (Jr., 6-2, University Place, Wa./Life Christian) and Jason Chivers (Jr., 6-8, Palmdale, Ca.) added 20 points apiece.

SPU had defeated the Southwest Pirates 122-67 Monday night but with only seven players available and Brisbane opting to play 12-minute quarters rather than 10, the Falcons wilted. The Bullets led 63-46 at halftime and maintained at least a 15-point spread the rest of the way.

Lee finished as the team's top scorer on the tour, averaging 23.2 points as Seattle Pacific went 3-2. Chivers averaged 19.2 points and 13.4 rebounds.

The Falcons return home Thursday. The 2003-04 season begins at home Nov. 21 against Saint Leo of Florida.
