BOISE, Idaho (AP) Nevada's Cody Martin hadn't hit a 3-pointer in a month, but that didn't stop him from taking a huge shot when his team needed it.

Martin, last season's Mountain West defensive player of the year, hit a contested 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds remaining to lift No. 10 Nevada over Boise State 72-71 on Tuesday night.

"The ball felt good when it left my hands," Martin said after the game. "I couldn't really see the rim, but we were working on contested shots before the game and that really helped me."
