ANCHORAGE, AK - Senior Blake Hamilton scored five of his game-high 23 points in the last 15 seconds on Saturday night as the Bulls overcame an eight-point second half deficit to defeat Weber State, 74-72, in the third place game of the Great Alaska Shootout.
The Bulls got out to a quick start on Saturday night as they raced out to an early 15-3 lead after back-to-back three pointers from Nick Perkins and Willie Conner. A strong UB defensive effort helped Weber State missed 11 of its first 12 shots, but turnovers and foul trouble impeded the Bulls from pulling away in the affair.
