Anderson hits 3-pointer with 6.8 seconds left to lead Utah State past No. 20 San Diego State 67-66
SAN DIEGO (AP) Tucker Anderson made a 3-point shot from the right wing with 6.8 seconds left and Utah State stunned No. 20 San Diego State 67-66 on Saturday after rallying from an 18-point deficit.
SDSU's Wayne McKinney III missed a 3-pointer with two seconds left, and the Aggies' reserves rushed to the other end of the court to swarm Anderson. The winning shot came after SDSU's BJ Davis missed a 3-pointer.
Ian Martinez scored 17 points, Mason Falslev 16 and Anderson 14 for Utah State (12-1, 2-0 Mountain West).
Miles Byrd and Nick Boyd scored 14 apiece for SDSU (8-3, 1-1), which went cold from the field in the second half and saw its four-game winning streak end.
The Aggies, who trailed 40-22 late in the first half, went up 56-55 on Falslev's layup on an inbounds play with 6:16 left for their first lead. But they didn't score again for more than four minutes as SDSU took a 65-58 lead. Martinez converted a 3-point play and Anderson hit a 3-pointer with 1:14 left to pull to 65-64.
Boyd made the first of two free throws and Jared Coleman-Jones rebounded before Davis' missed 3.
Utah State: The Aggies showed some mettle in the middle game of a three-game trip. They trailed 43-32 at halftime but used an 8-0 run early in the second half to get back into it.
San Diego State: The Aztecs played their trademark defense early on, but the Aggies figured it out early in the second half.
The winning shot by Anderson.
SDSU shot just 25.9% (7 of 27) in the second half and 38.5% (20 of 52) overall.
Utah State is at Nevada on Tuesday night, while San Diego State is at Boise State next Saturday.
