BOISE, Idaho (AP) -Mikey Thompson found his way into the lane from the top of the key and converted a contested layup with 12.7 seconds left to play - getting fouled in the process - keying the Broncos (6-4) to a thrilling 67-66 victory over Loyola Marymount after he converted the free throw. The Lions' Brandon Brown casted a desperation 3-pointer with three seconds to go, but his shot careened off the rim and was secured by Chandler Hutchison to seal the win.

"It was amazing," Thompson said. "My teammates knew that I had the ball and I was going to make a play. That's the mindset I've had since the beginning of the season. The mindset to step up in close games and do what I've got toto his left gave him a seam to the rim and a shot at the game-winning layup. Thompson finished for his only, but most important field goal of the game.

"I've had Mikey for five years and in those five years he has never once told me to put him back in a game," said head coach Leon Rice. "Tonight he told me to put him back in. He had that look, so I did."

The first half stayed tight the whole way, as neither team led by more than six points. Anthony Drmic scored the first five points and guided the Broncos to a comfortable 20-14 lead at the 11:36 mark in the first period.

The Lions battled back and went on a 15-4 run to take the lead, 26-21
