OGDEN, Utah (AP) - Anthony Johnson scored 34 of his career-high
42 points in the second half, leading Montana back from a 22-point
deficit and into the NCAA tournament with a 66-65 win over Weber
State on Wednesday night in the Big Sky tournament championship.
Derek Selvig added 12 points and Brian Qvale pulled down 14
rebounds for the Grizzlies (22-9), who will return to the NCAA
tournament for the first time since last winning the Big Sky in
2006.
After committing 14 turnovers in the first half, Montana had
just six in the second, slowly chipping away until Johnson hit what
turned out to be the winning shot, a short jumper with 10 seconds
left.
Damian Lillard scored 16 to lead top-seeded Weber State (20-10),
which led 40-20 at halftime.
