LAS VEGAS (AP) - New Mexico upset top-seeded Utah, 56-53, Friday night to advance to the championship game of the Mountain West Conference tournament.
The Lobos (19-11) will meet Brigham Young, a 75-66 winner over Wyoming, in the finals on Saturday.
Marlon Parmer led New Mexico with 16 points, the only Lobo to score in double figures.
Britton Johnsen had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Utes (19-11).
The Lobos led 48-47 with 6:05 remaining in the game when Parmer made two straight field goals to put New Mexico ahead by five in a contest that went down to the final buzzer.
Johnsen made one of two free throws to cut the lead to 52-48 with 3:23 left, but Eric Chatfield scored at the 2:26 mark to give New Mexico a 6-point lead.
The Utes rallied yet again, however, with Jeff Johnsen stealing a pass and scoring a layup to make the score 54-50 and Nick Johnson hitting a pair of free throws with 30 seconds left to cut the lead to 54-52.
The Utes had a chance to tie after Parmer was fouled and missed both free throws, but Britton Johnsen was fouled driving to the basket and made only one of two free throws.
After the Lobos' Tim Lightfoot hit two free throws to put the Lobos up 56-53 with 6.9 seconds left the Utes' Kevin Bradley missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
