MORAGA, Calif. – Keshawn Justice saved his most important basket for last.
Justice tallied 23 points, including the game-winning 3-pointer, to help propel Santa Clara men's basketball to a thrilling 66-64 road victory over Saint Mary's in the West Coast Conference opener for both teams.
A dunk by Mattias Tass of Saint Mary's with 22 seconds left snapped a 62-all tie, but Justice answered just four seconds later by connecting on a 3-pointer from the right wing off a feed from DJ Mitchell.
Justice followed by blocking a shot from Tommy Kuhse in the lane and nailed 1 of 2 free throws to close it out for the Broncos (7-2, 1-0).
