SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) — Bol Dengdit had 15 points and Jaden Vance made a layup at the buzzer in UC San Diego’s 64-63 victory against UC Santa Barbara on Saturday night in the regular-season finale for both teams.

CJ Shaw scored in the lane to give UCSB a one-point lead with 5.5 seconds left. Tom Beattie took the inbounds pass, raced beyond halfcourt and was trapped on the right wing before he found Vance under the hoop for the go-ahead basket.

Dengdit shot 5 of 12 from the field, including 0 for 3 from 3-point range, and went 5 for 7 from the line for the Tritons (22-10, 12-8 Big West Conference). Beattie added 14 points and three steals while going 6 of 11 from the field. Hudson Mayes finished 5 of 6 from the floor to finish with 12 points.

Colin Smith led the Gauchos (18-13, 11-9) in scoring, finishing with 13 points. Shaw added 13 points for UCSB. Miro Little also had 10 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.

By The Associated Press
Cheryl Reeve is taking a break from her busy WNBA season to head to Knoxville this weekend and be inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. She's only the second WNBA coach to enter the Hall of Fame, joining former Houston Comets coach Van Chancellor, who was inducted in 2001. “(I appreciate) the magnitude of this recognition of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame and the great work that has gone into this institution,” Reeve said. “To walk around and see the history of how much has been done years before I could ever have this opportunity to coach. Grateful to the WNBA because I think there was some consideration given schedule wise.” Reeve will be joined by WNBA greats Candace Parker and Elena Delle Donne in this year's class. Parker and Delle Donne also will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame later this year. Other inductees include ESPN broadcaster Doris Burke, Kirkwood Community College coach Kim Muhl, Spanish star Amaya Valdemoro, French great Isabelle Fijalkowski and Clemson's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, Barbara Kennedy-Dixon.
