Mitchell Biewen's baseline layup with :01 to play capped a 15-point second-half comeback and lifted Carleton to a 67-66 road victory over No. 3-ranked St. Thomas in Saturday night's MIAC men's basketball game at UST's Schoenecker Arena.
The Knights (4-2 overall, 2-0 MIAC) trailed 52-37 with 11:00 to go but used a 30-14 game-ending run to post a rare victory on the UST campus. Biewen scored all seven points in a 7-2 run over the final :30 and finished with a game-high 19 points.
The Tommies (4-1, 1-1) used a 28-9 run to open the second half and erase a 28-24 halftime deficit.
Carleton shot 54 percent on the game and overcame 11 Tommie 3-point baskets. UST had only seven turnovers but shot just four free throws on the night and made only one.
Biewen's trey with 20 seconds left put the Knights ahead 65-64. Grant Shaeffer's driving layup with :09 to play regained the lead for UST. After a timeout, Carleton drove up court and executed a play to a cutting Biewen, who banked in a layup with :01 to go.
Shaeffer (16 points), Cortez Tillman (15) and Taylor Montero (14) combined for 45 of UST's 66 points.
