SAN DIEGO (AP) Bryson Williams made three big shots in the final minutes and scored 18 points for Fresno State, which blew almost all of an 11-point lead before beating San Diego State 63-55 Wednesday night.
Deshon Taylor scored 15 points and Jahmel Taylor 11, with both also coming up big down the stretch for the Bulldogs (17-11, 9-7 Mountain West), who won their third straight game.
Fresno State dominated inside most of the game, including outrebounding the Aztecs 37-27.
Jeremy Hemsley and Dakarai Allen scored 13 apiece and Malik Pope 11 for SDSU (16-11, 8-7), which had its three-game winning streak snapped.
The Bulldogs led 44-33 with 10 minutes to go before the Aztecs went on a 10-0 run keyed by Hemsley's bank shot and 3-pointer.
Deshon Taylor was fouled by Dakarai Allen taking a 3-pointer and made all three free throws to make it 47-43. Jahmel Taylor hit a big 3-pointer with 5 1/2 minutes to go, and Williams powered his way to two inside shots to help keep the Aztecs at bay. Williams also had a dunk in the final seconds to finish 8 of 11.
The Bulldogs beat the Aztecs in the Mountain West Conference tournament championship game last season, ending SDSU's string of six straight NCAA tournament appearances.
