BOZEMAN, Mont. -- Tyler Hall scored a career-high 37 points and set a Montana State single-season scoring record as the Bobcats slipped past rival Montana for a 78-69 win Saturday night.
Hall was 11 of 13 from the field with six 3-pointers and sank all but two of his 11 free throws to reach 630 points this season. He needed 32 points to beat the previous program record.

Montana State (15-14, 10-6 Big Sky) trailed most of the first half but Hall opened the second half with a jumper that sparked an 8-0 spurt over the next two minutes to put the Bobcats on top for good, 39-32. Montana State then got another 8-0 run capped by Hall's 3-pointer about seven minutes later to stretch the advantage to 57-43 and hung on.
