Jeromie Hill made the game-winning dunk with two seconds left to lift Texas-San Antonio to a 97-96 comeback win over Northwestern State in the first round of the Southland Conference tournament on Wednesday.
Hill finished with 25 points while Devin Gibson led with 28 as the seventh-seeded Roadrunners (17-13) advanced to Thursday's semifinals.

UTSA closed on a 23-11 run and scored on 14 of its last 15 possessions.
The No. 2 seed Demons (18-14) tied the Southland tournament's 3-point record with 14.
Will Pratt scored 26 points, Louis Ellis 16 and Devon Baker 15 for the Demons.
