Hutchison's 44 lifts Boise State past San Diego State 83-80

BOISE, Idaho -- Chandler Hutchison sank seven 3-pointers and scored a program-record 44 points to lift Boise State to an 83-80 win over San Diego State on Saturday night.

Trailing by a point with under three minutes to play, Boise State (15-3, 5-1 Mountain West) got a 3-pointer from Justinian Jessup to edge back on top 77-75 before San Diego State tied it up again with a Matt Mitchell layup.

The Broncos then went 6 for 6 from the free-throw line over the final 1:38 to seal it, with Hutchison getting the final pair from the line with 14 seconds to go after Jalen McDaniels brought San Diego State (11-5, 3-2) to within a point, 81-80, on his fourth free throw of the game. San Diego State's final 3-point shot at the buzzer was no good.

Hutchison was 15 for 21 from the field, missing just three of his shots from 3-point range, and was 7 of 9 from the line. The 6-foot-7 senior's total scoring broke a 47-year record at Boise State for most points in a game.

Lexus Williams added 16 points for Boise State, which shot 55 percent and hit 14 of 28 from long range. Jessup finished with 10 points.

Devin Watson scored 19 points to lead four San Diego State players in double figures.
