    RUSTON, La. (AP) Olek Czyz tied his season high with 24 points and converted the game-winning three-point play as Nevada held off Louisiana Tech 65-63 Saturday night for its 15th consecutive victory.

    After the Bulldogs used a 6-0 burst, capped by four points by Brandon Gibson, to tie it 62-62 with 1:08 left, Dario Hunt missed a jumper for Nevada. Czyz rebounded and scored on a layup and a free throw with 34 seconds left.

    Kenyon McNeail made 1 of 2 free throws 3 seconds later, but the Bulldogs missed their last three field-goal attempts.

    Malik Story added 16 points for Nevada and Hunt grabbed 11 rebounds.

    Raheem Appleby's 17 points led the Bulldogs (11-11, 3-4), who had their three-game winning streak snapped.
