SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Matthew Knight's three-point play with 19.7 seconds remaining capped a late second-half rally by Loyola Marymount that lifted the Lions to a 50-49 win over San Francisco on Saturday night.
Knight, who sprained his right ankle after crashing against the scorer's table while diving for a loose ball late in the second half, finished with 12 points and five rebounds to lead Loyola Marymount to just its third win in the last 11 games.
Tyrone Riley scored 18 points and grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds to lead San Francisco but missed a layup underneath the basket with 1.3 seconds left for the Dons, who lost their second straight at home after going 10-0 at War Memorial Gym to start the season.
John Cox added 15 points for San Francisco (13-9, 4-5 West Coast Conference), but he also missed a potential game-winning shot in the final moments when his 3-point attempt fell short.
Loyola Marymount (11-11, 3-6) trailed by as many as 11 early in the second half but slowly crept back into the game when the Dons' offense went cold.
San Francisco, which went nearly 7½ minutes without a basket in the first half, had just two field goals in the final 12:30 of the game, shot just 31.5 percent overall and committed a season-high 22 turnovers.
The Lions' only lead of the game came when Knight _ the team's leading scorer with 16.2 points a game _ scored and was fouled underneath the basket by Riley. Knight's ensuing free throw then provided the winning margin.
Riley scored 11 points in the first half to give the Dons an early 10-point lead, but neither team shot well overall and San Francisco only led 28-24 at halftime.
Knight injured his ankle with just over two minutes left in the first half and spent halftime running short sprints outside the Lions' locker room before returning to the game. He had only two points in the second half before his game-winning three-point play.
