VIDEO: Oregon State tops Utah thanks to last-second foul on half-court heave

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Gary Payton II had 20 points, seven assists, and six rebounds as Oregon State made a furious second-half rally and defeated Utah 71-69 on Thursday night.

The Beavers trailed 69-68 when Stephen Thompson Jr. was fouled on a last-second half-court shot. He made all three free throws.

Thompson scored 13 points for the Beavers (13-8, 4-6 Pac-12).

Jakob Poeltl had 20 points and nine rebounds and Kyle Kuzma added 17 points for the Runnin' Utes (17-6, 6-4), who had a five-game winning streak snapped.

Oregon State trailed by as many as 10 in the second half, but the Beavers went on a 9-3 run late, and a Jarmal Reid lay-in put the Beavers up 68-66 with 16 seconds left.

But Reid fouled Utah's Jordan Loveridge on a 3-point attempt with 2.2 seconds left. Loveridge sank all three free throws before Thompson was fouled with 0.1 second left on his desperation heave.

The first half was back-and-forth and about midway through, Utah went on a 9-2 surge, fueled by three Kuzma lay-ups, to lead 27-24 with 9:01 left.

The Utes shot only 2 for 10 the rest of the half, though, and Oregon State went to the break ahead 35-31.

Utah repeatedly went to Poeltl down low to regain the lead. He scored seven of the Utes' first nine points in the second half. His jumper with 16:35 left put Utah up 40-39.

With 7:44 remaining, Poeltl made a lay-in, was fouled and sank the free throw to put Utah ahead 60-50.

Oregon State responded with a 7-0 run, capped by a Thompson breakaway lay-in and free throw after being fouled.
