Just a 45-minute drive from his hometown of Longmont, Colorado, Justinian Jessup was clearly feeling comfortable.
The Boise State junior guard scored a game-high 20 points to lead the Broncos to a 70-68 victory over Colorado State on Tuesday night at Moby Arena in a Mountain West game that came down to the closing seconds.
The Broncos led 67-60 with 43.6 seconds left, but the Rams made two 3-pointers in a span of 19 seconds to make it a one-possession game with 18.2 on the clock.
David Wacker and Derrick Alston each made 1-of-2 free throws down the stretch to help the Broncos withstand Colorado State’s comeback attempt.
