Griz defense reaches top level, clamps down Weber State

on

The run began innocently enough, with a Timmy Falls steal at 12:55 of the first half stopping a stretch of baskets on five consecutive possessions by Weber State.

It was Montana’s first defensive stop in three and a half minutes.

By the time that Montana’s run was over, the Griz would string together 13 more successful defensive possessions in a row, hold the Wildcats scoreless for nearly nine minutes and score 20 consecutive points to break out to a huge lead that — although it got close at times in the second half — they never relinquished in their crucial 75-68 win Saturday night.
