STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Owen Koonce scored 30 points, Isaac Jessup scored 18 of his 21 points in the second half and Cal Poly rallied late to beat Stanford 97-90 on Saturday night.
Jessup hit consecutive 3-pointers during a 10-2 surge to give Cal Poly its first lead since the opening minutes of the game, 79-78, with 4:58 remaining. Stanford regained the advantage on the next possession and then later tied it 84-all on Maxime Raynaud's layup with 1:50 left.
Jarred Hyder answered with another 3-pointer to spark a 7-0 spurt to help the Mustangs pull away.
Cal Poly shot 20 of 28 (71%) from the floor and made 8 of 14 from long range in the second half.
