WESTWOOD CHRISTIAN WINS THRILLER, 62-60

A basket with 11 seconds left broke a 60-60 tie and gave visiting Westwood Christian a 62-60 victory over Southwest Tuesday night. The Eagles (0-2) were trailing 57-53 with just over two minutes left in the game when Thiago Bourroul hit a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to one. The Warriors (1-2) came back with a three-point play of their own to go back up by four. With 1:19 left, Ivan Fonseca scored to make it 60-58 and the Eagles got a break when Westwood Christian's assistant coach ran across the court to yell at the referee, drawing a technical foul. Bourroul took the free throws and calmly swished them both to tie the game at 60-60. The Warriors scored with 11 seconds left and it took Southwest eight seconds to call time out with 0:03 on the clock. The inbounds pass was knocked out of bounds by Westwood with 2 seconds remaining. The next inbounds pass resulted in a potential game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, but it was wide of the mark.
