Holcombe scored 23 and Trevan Leonhardt added 21 to help Utah Valley outlast
Utah Tech 104-101 in double overtime on Saturday night and win the Western
Athletic Conference regular-season title.
Weatherspoon shot 9 for 12 (6 for 7 from 3-point range) and 3 of 4 from the

rebounds and five assists. Chance Trujillo had 18 points and Jusaun Holt
finished with 16 points, 10 rebounds and four assists.
Leonhardt hit a 3-pointer to cap a 7-0 run and Utah Valley never trailed in the
second OT.
Isaac Hawkins made two free throws to give Utah Valley a 61-46 lead with 12
minutes remaining, but Ethan Potter was fouled on a dunk with eight seconds
left, completing the three-point play to force OT tied at 81. Holcombe sank a
jumper with five seconds left to force a second OT tied at 92.
The WAC Tournament begins on Wednesday.
