UNREAL Finish: Ex-BYU Star Alex Barcello Drains INSANE Game Winner at the Buzzer!
Former BYU basketball standout Alex Barcello is back in the headlines—and for good reason. The sharpshooting guard delivered an unforgettable moment this week by hitting a jaw-dropping, buzzer-beating game-winner that has fans and analysts buzzing across social media.
Playing overseas in the European leagues, Barcello has quietly been building a solid professional career since his days lighting it up in Provo. But nothing about this moment was quiet. With just seconds left on the clock and his team trailing, Barcello took matters into his own hands. Off a broken play and under heavy defensive pressure, he launched an off-balance three-pointer from deep—nothing but net. Game over.
The crowd erupted. His teammates swarmed him. And the video of the shot? Instantly viral.
This kind of clutch performance is nothing new for those who followed Barcello during his time at BYU. Known for his high basketball IQ, deadly accuracy from beyond the arc, and ice-in-his-veins composure, Barcello was a fan favorite and team leader. Still, even by his standards, this shot was something out of a movie script.
Fans have taken to social media to celebrate the moment, with many calling it “the shot of the year” in international play. BYU faithful were especially vocal, flooding comment sections with praise and nostalgia. One fan wrote, “Barcello forever a Cougar legend—still giving us chills years later!”
While the game itself may not have made major headlines in the U.S., Barcello’s heroics served as a powerful reminder: talent, heart, and clutch moments transcend borders. He may be playing far from home, but Alex Barcello just proved again why he’s still one of the coldest shooters to come out of college basketball.
Watch the shot and feel the chills—it’s a moment you won’t forget.
