Montana State beat Sacramento State 78-75 on the road and 75-70 at home. … Montana is making its 27th appearance in the Big Sky tourney, MSU its 20th, Northern Arizona its 16th, Eastern its 10th, Portland State and Sacramento their fourth. Weber is the leader with 29. … Weber’s 10-17 finish resulted in its fourth-fewest wins in school history and only the second back-to-back losing seasons since going D-I in 1962-63. Head coach Joe Cravens was fired three years after WSU went 14-0 and he was Coach of the Year. … Idaho State’s David Schroeder, who averaged 25 points in three games, is final the Player of the Week. He finished his career with 11 straight double figure games, second among active streaks to Stuckey’s season-long 24.
