LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jordan Ratinho scored 17 points and San Francisco held off Loyola Marymount 69-67 in a wild finish on Saturday night.
Khalil Shabazz added 16 points for the Dons (20-11, 9-7 West Coast Conference), who have 20 wins for the fourth straight season. Jamaree Bouyea chipped in 12 points and Jimbo Lull had 10.
Jordan Bell scored a career-high 25 points to lead LMU (10-20, 4-12). Keli Leaupepe added 16 points.
The Lions used a 14-5 run to cap the scoring with nine seconds left. Shabazz took the final inbound and attempted a cross-court pass to Ratinho, but Erik Johansson intercepted the ball. Johansson tossed it to Leaupepe who returned it right back.
Johansson then attempted a deep 3-pointer, but the ball rimmed out and was swatted around by three players before Taavi Jurkatamm secured it for the Dons to end the game.
