Kevin Bell scored 18 points and Eddie Miller added 17 as Fresno State kept Louisiana Tech winless in Western Athletic Conference play with a 70-58 victory Monday night.

Fresno State (11-12 overall, 4-5 WAC) led from start to finish in its second win in six games.

Fresno State led by as many as 27 points with 13:27 remaining in the second half before Louisiana Tech crept back into the game with a 15-0 scoring run.

Louisiana Tech pulled to within 68-58 on Tims' 3-pointer with 2:02 left but could get no closer, choosing not to foul Fresno State in the final minutes.

Nedeljko Golubovic had nine points and seven rebounds for Fresno State, which enjoyed a 20-4 edge on fast-break points and shot 40 percent (8-of-20) from beyond the arc.

Miller led the way with five 3-pointers, accounting for all of his field goals. Bell finished 7-of-10 from the field and added six assists.

Fresno State led 38-17 at halftime, holding Louisiana Tech to 25 percent shooting in the first half.
