Sacramento State takes over Big Sky lead

Ap

Mikh McKinney pumped in 21 points and Sacramento State took over first place in the Big Sky Conference with a 73-60 win over Portland State Saturday night in Portland.

With two road games remaining, Sacramento State is a half-game ahead of Montana and a game ahead of Eastern Washington.

Tiegbe Bamba finished with 13 points and eight rebounds to lead the Vikings.

Northern Colorado 76, Northern Arizona 74: Tevin Svihovec scored 20 points and Tim Huskisson came up with a big play late to help Northern Colorado upset Northern Arizona in Greeley, Colorado.

Huskisson’s layup with 27 seconds to go pulled Northern Colorado to within one point at 73-72. After NAU’s Kris Yanku missed the front end of a one-and-one, Svihovec was sent to the line with six seconds left by Jordyn Martin and made both to put the Bears up one.

On the inbounds play, Huskisson came up with a steal and was fouled, making both for a three-point lead with five ticks left.

Huskisson then fouled Ako Kaluna on the floor, and after Kaluna hit the first, Svihovec gathered the rebound to preserve the win.

Yanku led Northern Arizona with 20 points.

Southern Utah 71, North Dakota 65: Trey Kennedy scored 13 points and the Thunderbirds topped North Dakota in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Quinton Hooker led North Dakota with 24 points on 10-of-15 shooting.

Weber State 61, Idaho State 57: Chris Golden sank six 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 24 points, including the go-ahead bucket, to lift Weber State to a win over Idaho State in Ogden, Utah.

Kyndahl Hill contributed 17 points for Weber State, which had 14 turnovers but controlled the boards 37-29.

Chris Hansen led Idaho State with 22 points and Solarin finished with 17.
