SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -- John Bryant matched his career high with 20 points and had a season high 12 rebounds to lead Santa Clara to a 77-75 overtime victory over Utah State on Saturday.
Danny Pariseau scored all 11 of his points after halftime as the Broncos (9-4) won their fourth straight at home and four of five overall. Scott Dougherty had 16 points and Mitch Henke added 14.
Stephen DuCharme scored 18 of his 22 points after the intermission for the Aggies (9-3), who fell to 2-3 on the road. Jaycee Carroll was held to a season-low 14.
Pariseau made a pair of free throws and Bryant hit an inside basket to tie the game with 6.7 seconds left. Utah State missed a chance to tie when a driving layup bounced off the front of the rim as time expired. The Aggies had three players, including two starters, foul out late in the game.
Pariseau gave the Broncos the lead for good with a twisting layup at the 2:50 mark of overtime. The Broncos led by as many as five before the Aggies made it close in the final seconds.
Santa Clara also spoiled Aggies' coach Stew Morrill's bid for his 200th win at the school.
The game was Utah State's first trip to Santa Clara since losing there in 1976.
