Montana beats E Washington for 2nd straight Big Sky title | |
BOISE, Idaho (AP) After going scoreless in the first half of the Big Sky Tournament championship game, Montana's Ahmaad Rorie didn't have much to say in the locker room at halftime. "I had my head down," Rorie said. "I felt like we all wanted it so bad, but we just weren't playing well." In the second half, Rorie did all his talking on the court, sparking Montana to a 68-62 comeback victory over Eastern Washington on Saturday night for its second straight title. MORE | |
