With just under eight minutes left, the Wolf Pack completely erased the Broncos' lead and tied the contest at 60. Nevada went on to take its first lead of the night at the 7:27 mark on Comer's third three-pointer.

Seesawing back and forth, the game was nip and tuck down the stretch. For Boise State, it was Buchanan who came up big when the team needed it most.

Giving the Broncos a four-point lead, Buchanan poured in his second trip with 1:57 on the clock. He made four big free throws in the final minute but a floater by Comer before the buzzer sounder tied the game at 79 and sent the contest into overtime.
