Miners hold off Irvine in thriller, 67-61, to win Sun Bowl tournament, go to 8-1

Superstars generally remember what they did wrong, and UTEP's Bryson Williams had his struggles in UTEP's gritty 67-61 victory over Cal Irvine in the championship game of the WestStar Don Haskins Sun Bowl Invitational.

Williams, though, stood tallest at the end. His free throw with 1:22 left broke the game's sixth tie, then his driving hook shot with 52 seconds left on an in-bounds play put the Miners up 64-61.
