PUEBLO, Colo - The ThunderWolves were able to hold off a late Roadrunner rally to pull off the upset by a final of 77-74.

MSU Denver was up by five at halftime, but Victor Lado's layup sparked a CSU Pueblo run in the second half and they found themselves up 67-58 with 5:34 left.

The Roadrunners soon made a final march and went on a 14-4 run over the next four minutes to take back the lead at 72-71. Logan Threatt's fast-break 3-pointer put his team ahead with 1:34 left. 

Lado, who came off the bench to score 17 points, slammed home a dunk to put the ThunderWolves back up by one. 

Despite missing his first two attempts at the the rim, Quave Propst-Allison cashed in on his third attempt to give MSU Denver the 74-73 lead with 44 ticks on the clock. Propst-Allison finished the game with only four points, but he pulled down a team-high nine rebounds and dished out a team-high seven assists. 

Brevin Walter's turnaround jumper put his team right back up by one with 29 seconds left.

On the following possession, Caleb McGill missed a layup in the paint, but got his own rebound and found K.J. Garrett, who fired up a three, but it didn't fall. Walter made both of his free throws to put CSU Pueblo up by three with seven seconds left. McGill put up a 3-point prayer but it didn't go in and the ThunderWolves pulled off the upset against the second-ranked team in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
