RJ Williams scored with 6.3 seconds left to give the Boise State men’s basketball team a one-point lead.
But senior guard James Batemon went coast-to-coast for a layup in the final seconds as Loyola Marymount escaped with a 70-69 win on Wednesday night at Gersten Pavilion in Los Angeles.
Batemon totaled a game-best 30 points as the Lions improved to 11-1, matching their win total from all of last season.
“We made winning plays, that was big for our team,” Boise State coach Leon Rice said in a postgame radio interview with Bob Behler on 670 AM.
