Montana State handed Eastern Washington their fifth consecutive loss in men's basketball tonight in Bozeman. Looks like there will be no national championship in basketball for the Eags.
BOZEMAN – Erik Rush, Rod Singleton and Bobby Howard each scored 14 points to lead five players in double figures and Montana State shot 72.7 percent in the second half to rally past Eastern Washington 71-59 Sunday.
The Bobcats (5-1 Big Sky, 11-7), who are off to their best start in conference play since 2004-05, went on a 15-1 run midway through the second half to turn a three-point deficit into a 46-35 lead with 10:11 remaining. They never trailed again.
Glen Dean scored 17 points and Kevin Winford had 14 for the Eagles (1-4, 4-13), who lost their fifth consecutive game.
Montana State improved to 5-1 on the season, making me think (with the performance by Montana so far) that this state will be the place to be when the Big Sky Tournament rolls around.
