SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 A last-ditch heave by Jed Miller at the buzzer missed the mark and the Montana State men fell 83-80 at Sacramento State on Thursday in Big Sky Conference basketball.<\/p>\n
The Bobcats trailed by 10 points, 45-35, with 14:55 remaining in the game but rallied to retake a two-point advantage with 4:39 on the clock. The key play, though, came from Sacramento State’s Jahni Summers, whose dunk off a turnover put the Hornets up 79-75 with just 28 seconds left.<\/p>\n
A 3 by Miller pulled the Cats within 81-80 with less than four seconds remaining. But after two free throws by Sac State’s Mikey Williams, Miller’s long heave at the horn didn’t connect. The loss snapped Montana State’s four-game winning streak.<\/p>\n
Miller finished with 25 points and 11 rebounds to pace the Bobcats, while teammate Christian King had 23 points and seven boards. Miller hit six of the Bobcats 15 3-pointers. Jeremiah Davis added 10 points for MSU.<\/p>\n
The Hornets’ Prophet Johnson had 27 points to lead all scorers. Williams finished with 23 points for Sac State.<\/p>\n
The Bobcats are now 13-9 overall and 7-2 in the Big Sky Conference. They travel to play first-place Portland State on the road Saturday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 A last-ditch heave by Jed Miller at the buzzer missed the mark and the Montana…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156118,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[17826,15431,12074,38979,121,123,122],"class_list":["post-156117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-big-sky-conference","tag-mens-basketball","tag-montana-sports","tag-montana-state-bobcats","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156117\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
