Following Gibson's jumper which gave UTSA a 57-54 lead, Demond Watt hit two free throws to pull the Islanders (13-12, 7-4) to within one with 40 seconds to go.
Morris Smith IV then missed the first foul shot of a one-and-one, giving Corpus Christi a chance to win it. The Islanders' LaMarr Drake threw a lob pass to Marcus Hammonds on the far side of the basket, but the pass deflected off the backboard and several players batted for the loose ball as time expired.
