BOISE, Idaho (AP) James Webb III scored 19 points and Boise State rallied from 13 points down in the second half to beat Utah State 70-67 on Tuesday night.

The Broncos (16-7, 7-3 Mountain West) didn't lead until Lonnie Jackson hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 1:28 to play. It was his first 3-pointer after missing six attempts from behind the arc.

Webb scored all but two of his points in the second half, when Boise State twice rallied from double-digit deficits to finally overtake the Aggies (11-10, 3-7) and sweep the season series.
