- Share via
Pat Holbert and Anthony Thomas ignited a second-half rally that lifted the University of San Diego to a 71-66 West Coast Conference basketball victory over Portland Saturday night at Portland, Ore.
Holbert scored 24 points and Thomas had 14 for the Toreros (12-10, 7-3 in the WCC).
Craig Cottrell put the Toreros ahead to stay, 63-62, when he sank a short jumper with 4:16 left.
Steve Hutchinson scored 18 points for Portland (7-16, 4-6).
Santa Clara 74, Gonzaga 72--Melvin Chinn sank two free throws with four seconds left to give the Broncos a victory over the Bulldogs at Spokane, Wash.
Gonzaga (6-17, 1-9) tied the score, 72-72, on Mike Winger’s three-point shot with eight seconds left. Winger thought the Santa Clara (8-14, 5-5) still led and fouled Chinn intentionally.
