Johnson carries Montana past Weber State for Big Sky title
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/11/2010 -
Ogden, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Anthony Johnson set a tournament record with 42
points and knocked down the game-winning jumper with 10.4 seconds left to cap
a furious second-half comeback, as Montana upended Weber State, 66-65, to
claim the Big Sky Conference tourney crown and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Johnson poured in 34 of those points in the second half to help erase a 20-
point halftime deficit and give Montana (22-9) its seventh tourney title and
eighth NCAA Tournament appearance. The senior was 13-of-22 from the field and
made all 14 of his foul shots.
Derek Selvig chipped in 12 points and seven rebounds for the Grizzlies.
Big Sky Player of the Year Damian Lillard had 16 points and five rebounds, but
was just 5-of-13 from the field. Franklin Session added 10 points for top-
seeded and tournament host Weber State (20-10), which was vying for its ninth
Big Sky Tournament crown.
The Grizzlies shot just 28 percent in the first half with its seven field
goals leading to a measly 20 points and a 40-20 deficit after 20 minutes.
However, thanks to Johnson, Montana sank a startling 69.6 percent of its shots
in the second half.
Weber State was still up 19 nearing five minutes into the second half after
Nick Hansen dropped in a layup, but Johnson hit from beyond the arc on the
other end to start the improbable comeback with the first points of a 13-3
run.
Selvig and Ryan Staudacher also struck from three-point range during the
stretch, which sliced the deficit to nine with 12 1/2 minutes remaining.
Lillard drained a three for the Wildcats to stem the tide, but Johnson was at
the head of another Montana run pouring in eight points during a 10-0 surge
that brought the lead down to 51-49 with close to nine minutes left.
A layup by Session and Trevor Morris' basket with 6 1/2 minutes to play gave
the Wildcats some breathing room at 60-52.
Johnson simply took over from there, scoring the final 14 Montana points. He
scored six straight to make it a one-possession game and hit a jumper to get
with 61-60 near four minutes remaining.
His jumper with 1:04 to go gave the Grizzlies their first lead at 64-63, but
Lillard answered with two free throws.
Montana had a chance to go back in front but Lillard came up with a huge steal
of Selvig that led to a trip to the line by Session with 28.1 seconds on the
clock.
Session, though, missed both attempts and Johnson pulled up for a short jumper
on the ensuing possession to put the Grizzlies up 66-65. Will Cherry then tied
up Lillard on a loose ball to force a possession change back to Montana to
seemingly end things with 2.6 seconds left.
Selvig missed a pair of free throws, though, to give Weber State life. But a
last-second heave fell well short.

mark...The Wildcats shot 28 percent in the second half and 37.3 for the
