Idaho State Tops Bobcats in Pocatello

Tyler Hall's 27 points not enough to carry MSU
Idaho State guard Ethan Telfair scored a game-high 31 points, including a game-sealing three-pointer with 1:18 to play, as the Bengals topped Montana State 76-69 in Pocatello's Reed Gym on Saturday.
Telfair's heroics overcame another sensational performance by Bobcat freshman Tyler Hall. The MSU guard finished with 27 points on 10-for-17 shooting. Marcus Colbert chipped in a dozen for the Bobcats, while Sarp Gobeloglu added 11.
Idaho State led by as many as 11 points, but the Bobcats roared back in the second half to tie the score on several occasions. ISU turned the tide by trooping to the free throw line 36 times, hitting 22 of them. MSU was 9-for-10 from the line, for a 13-point Bengals advantage from the charity stripe.
MSU falls to 12-16 with the loss, 7-9 in the conference. The Bengals are 15-13 overall, 10-6 in the league. The Cats close the regular season next weekend, hosting Northern Colorado on Thursday and North Dakota Saturday afternoon.
