LOGAN, Utah (AP) - Jerry Green scored 31 points, including the game-winner at the buzzer, to lead UC Irvine to a 67-66 victory over Utah State Thursday night.

The Anteaters (11-4, 4-0 Big West) ended Utah State's school-record 31-game homecourt winning streak. The Aggies (11-3, 3-2) last lost at home on Jan. 8, 2000, to Brigham Young.

Green went 13-for-20, including 5-of-8 from 3-point range, and made five assists.

UC Irvine trailed 66-65 with 4.3 seconds left following a 3-pointer by USU's Ronnie Ross, but on the inbounds play, Green broke loose from the Aggie defense at midcourt, sprinted to the left side of the lane and hit a fallaway 15-footer as time expired.

Adam Parada added 13 points and six rebounds for the Anteaters.

Ross scored a career-high 20 points for the Aggies, while Desmond Penigar finished with 14 points and nine rebounds.
