Sun Dec 22, 2019 2:59 AM

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Malik Fitts and Jordan Ford combined to score 31 of their 44 points in the second half and Saint Mary's used a late 12-2 run to beat Nevada 68-63 on Saturday night at the Al Attles Classic.

Fitts finished with 23 points on 8-of-16 shooting and Ford had 17 of his 21 after the break. Matthias Tass and Tommy Kuhse added 11 points apiece for Saint Mary's (12-2).

Fitts made back-to-back baskets and Ford hit a jumper to give the Gaels a 60-57 lead with 3:30 to play. After Robby Robinson made a layup to pull Nevada within a point, Kuhse made a layup and Fitts and Ford each made a basket to make it 66-59 with 54 seconds left and Saint Mary's held on from there.

Jazz Johnson led the Wolf Pack (8-5) with 22 points.
