TJ Haws hit a deep 3-pointer from the top of the arc with 8.5 seconds left to cap a 6-0 surge as BYU beat Saint Mary’s 81-79.

Following a Saint Mary’s timeout, Jordan Ford drove the lane but his potential game-tying runner rimmed out. Kyle Bowen grabbed the rebound and attempted an awkward shot that was blocked by Zac Seljaas.

Haws scored 23 points and Yoeli Childs added 19 for BYU, which is now tied for second place with Saint Mary’s in the West Coast Conference standings.

Malik Fitts had 29 points and Jordan Ford added 18 for Saint Mary’s.
