Eddie Sutton became just the fourth coach to win 800 games Saturday night as San Francisco came back from a 19-point second-half deficit to beat Pepperdine 85-82 at Malibu in a West Coast Conference game.

Danny Cavic made a 3-pointer with 14.9 seconds left to give the Dons the lead and give the coach the milestone win in his fourth attempt. USF is 6-15, 2-4. Pepperdine is 7-15, 1-5.
