Winning streak ends with loss to Bobcats
2/5/2022 8:53:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Weber State returns to the road next week at Eastern Washington and Idaho.
OGDEN - Saturday night was Weber Sate's sixth game in the last two weeks and the Wildcats saw their eight-game winning streak snapped as Montana State handed WSU a 78-57 loss at the Dee Events Center.
The loss drops the Wildcats to 18-6 overall. WSU is still in first place in the Big Sky at 11-2.
Head coach Randy Rahe
"Montana State played great and we just didn't have it tonight. The schedule caught up to us and we didn't have the energy we needed. We're going to put this one behind us, get some rest and move on."
How it happened
The Bobcats led by as many as 12 points in the first half and held a 37-39 lead at the break.
The Wildcats cut the lead to nine points three minutes into the half but never got closer the rest of the game.
Montana State had a 12-2 run that gave them a 22-point lead at 70-48 and the Bobcats later led by as many as 25 points. It was MSU's biggest win ever in Ogden.
Key numbers
The Bobcats shot 54 percent from the field, the second-highest percentage against the Wildcats this season. MSU also made 11 3-pointers, outrebounded Weber State 38-24, and had 38 points in the paint.
Weber State shot just 36 percent from the field and was 6 of 20 from 3-point range.
Seikou Sisoho Jawara led Weber State with 14 points with three 3-pointers, while Koby McEwen added 11 points. Dillon Jones pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds and added three assists and three steals.
Up next
After three games at home this week, it's back on the road next week for two games. The Wildcats will play at Eastern Washington on Thursday and at Idaho on Saturday.
