He then hit two free throws with 46 seconds to go to pull the Bisons within 63-62.
A bucket from Will Pruitt late in the game pushed Lipscomb in front.

Tennessee Tech then missed two shots in the closing seconds as the Bisons held on for the one-point victory.
Boyd is second on the Lipscomb team in scoring this season at 10.5 points a contest.
Boyd was not the only Caldwell County grad on the floor Wednesday night at Allen Arena. One of the referees was Kelly Davis, who is also a former Tiger. Davis is a 1999 CCHS grad.
Lipscomb is now 7-4. The Bisons have two big games coming up. The team travels to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a Saturday afternoon game against the Michigan Wolverines. On Tuesday, Lipscomb will visit the Louisville Cardinals.
