FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) John Gillon scored 19 points, including six in the second overtime, and Colorado State beat Boise State 97-93 on Wednesday night in a game that ended in controversy.

At the end of the first overtime, Boise State's James Webb III banked in a 3-pointer as time expired, which would have given the Broncos the win. But after hand-timing the review, officials determined that the shot was not released before the buzzer.

Boise State inbounded the ball to Webb with 0.8 seconds left.

In the second overtime, Gillon sank a jumper, a layup and a pair of free throws and Fred Richardson III hit a 3-pointer to help the Rams (14-10, 6-5 Mountain West Conference) to a 95-87 lead with 1:09 to play. Boise State's Anthony Drmic drained a pair of 3s to bring the Broncos (16-9, 7-5) to within three, 96-93, with 22 seconds remaining.

Antwan Scott also scored 19 points for the Rams, who had a 49-34 rebounding edge over Boise State. Prentiss Nixon had 15 points, Emmanuel Omogbo had 13 points and Tiel Daniels had 12 points and 13 rebounds.

Montigo Alford scored 25 points for the Broncos, who hit a school-record 18 3-pointers. Mikey Thompson added 20 and Drmic 17.
