Eastern Washington emerged in the final five minutes to earn an 87-80 win at Montana on Thursday December 29, 2022 in the Big Sky Conference opener for both teams.
Six Eastern players finished in double figures, led by brutish forward Angelo Allegri who finished with 19 points and six assists. Ethan Price, last season’s Big Sky Freshman of the Year, had 13 points, including an old-fashioned 3-point play with 90 seconds left and game-sealing dunk 50 seconds later.
Following the game, Montana ninth-year head coach Travis DeCuire addressed the media.
