The Bobcats and the Webercats are going to overtime.

Montana State called a timeout on their last possession to draw up a play that resulted in Jubrile Belo shooting a three (Belo had 0 three-point attempts on the season coming in). :suspicious:

    _________________ The Griz shot 68% in the second half and a season-high 57.4% for the game

    SAC 64-70 WEB; The Wildcats only had 6 assists and 18 rebounds, but they shot 55% and won turnovers 15-6
    _________________ Weber won even though Dillon Jones tied his season low with just 5 rebounds
Slow start filled with turnovers doomed the Hornets in this one. Hornets were able to climb back in it but it was too little too late. Respectable first season for Patrick. We should be better with some of the dead weight from the Katz/Laird era off the roster for next season.
