VIDEO: Boise State game-winning overtime 3-pointer waved off
Boise State's 97-93 loss to Colorado State on Wednesday night left an extra sour taste in the Broncos' mouths.
With time dwindling down in the first overtime session, Boise State inbounded a pass to James Webb III, who launched a game-winning 3-pointer, or at least the Broncos' thought so.
