The Anteaters open a 13-point lead just four minutes into the game and roar to an 89-64 road win that moves them one game ahead of UC San Diego and guarantees them at least a top-two seed in the reformatted conference tournament.
The Anteaters erase an 11-point second-half deficit and take the lead on an Andre Henry 3-pointer with 35 seconds left in regulation, but UCSD’s Bryce Pope makes a 3-pointer with 0.7 seconds left to force overtime and propel the Tritons to a 92-88 win.
