Weber State back home again Saturday night against Montana State.
OGDEN - The short-handed Weber State Wildcats dropped their home Big Sky opener Thursday night, falling 63-59 to Montana at the Dee Events Center.

There were 11 lead changes in the second half. WSU led by five with 4:44 to play before a 6-0 Montana run gave the Grizzlies a one-point lead with 1:18 to play. The 'Cats regained the lead after a Miguel Tomley jump shot with 42 seconds left, but Montana scored the final five points in the final to seal the win.
Weber State shot 43 percent from the field and held Montana to 40 percent shooting. The Grizzlies outrebounded the Wildcats 34-30 and forced 11 Wildcat turnovers.
Three Wildcats scored in double figures led by Miguel Tomley with 16 points and two 3-pointers. He also pulled down six rebounds.
