STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) Paul Watson scored 18 points and made a pair of free throws with 29.3 seconds left in overtime to lift Fresno State over Pacific 70-68 on Saturday night.
The Tigers opened the extra period with a 4-0 spurt. Jahmel Taylor answered with two from the line, Terrell Carter II converted a 3-point play and the Bulldogs led 68-67.

Bowles missed a jumper, and Maleke Haynes and Jack Williams couldn't make the tip-ins to end it.

T.J. Wallace scored 17 points for Pacific (4-7). Bowles and Anthony Townes each added 16 points.
