BOZEMAN – Tyler Hall scored five of Montana State’s last seven points, finished with 31 and kicked off the second overtime with a steal and an assist as the Bobcats held on to defeat Idaho 94-91 in double overtime Thursday night.

Hall stepped in front of an Idaho inbounds pass early in the second overtime and, while falling backward, flipped the ball to Devonte Klines, who raced down court for a dunk as the Bobcats took an 82-78 lead with 40 seconds gone.

MSU (10-12, 5-4 Big Sky) survived one last Idaho rally that saw the Vandals come as close as 93-91.

Brayon Blake led UI (9-10, 4-4) with 20 points.
