MISCELLANY...
l Montana State's first four opponents attempted 101 free throws to MSU's 71, but in the last nine games MSU has 198 free throw attempts to the opponents' 150
l The Portland State game marked the 44th time (out of 75 opportunities) that Tyler Hall and Harald Frey have each scored in double-digits in the same game
l Tyler Hall has scored (86) or assisted (36) on 107 of Montana State's 329 field goals this season (40%)
l Devin Kirby has either led MSU or shared the team lead in rebounding in eight of the 13 games
ON THE OFFENSE...
l Montana State scored 80 points or more in four of the team's last six contests, four of them on the road, and has hit 90 points in three of the last five contests
l Junior guard became the 38th Bobcat to score 1,000 career points vs. PSU Thursday
l Montana State shot 37.2% from the arc at home last season, and is 34-80 (42.5%) in four home games this season while hitting at a 35.2% clip (86-for-244) away from home
l Tyler Hall's 10-for-10 effort from the free throw line vs. PSU tied a school record for most charity tosses without a miss
ON THE DEFENSE...
