SACRAMENTO (AP) - Dan Trammel had 21 points and 12 rebounds as Montana defeated Sacramento State 88-78 in a Big Sky Conference game Saturday night.
Point guard David Bell scored 17, hitting 5-of-11 3-pointers. Forward Brent Cummings added 20 and forward Ryan Slider had had 10 for the Grizzlies, who recovered from a loss at Northern Arizona less than 24 hours earlier.
Sacramento State (8-11, 2-3) was led by guard Joe Dawson, who scored 17 points but hit just 4-of-15 shots.
Rene Jacques had 11 points and Ronnie Walton had 10. The Hornets shot just 33 percent from the field. Montana's zone defense gave the Hornets fits throughout, as the Sacramento State guards were forced to shoot from beyond the 3-point arc, where they hit 7-of-18.
Montana hit 7-of-18 3-pointers and held its biggest lead at 70-52 with 8:50 remaining. Down 83-73, scores from guard Joel Jones and forward Cedric Thompkins cut the lead to five with 54 seconds left.
Christensen was fouled in the paint 10 seconds later, and hit two free throws to seal the win.
Montana (10-10, 4-3) led 40-30 at halftime. With Sacramento State ahead 10-9 four minutes in, the Grizzlies opened things up with a 15-2 run.
After a steal by Bell, Slider hit a layup, followed by a Bell three-pointer. Bell nailed another three, and Slider hit two free throws. But the Hornets came back, using threes from Jones and Leo Cravey in an 8-2 run to make it 26-20 with eight minutes left.
Montana answered with a 10-2 run, with Trammel scoring seven. Dawson hit a three just before the break. Fifty five fouls were called in the game, 31 for Montana and 24 for the Hornets.
