Montana Tech outlasts Providence in OT in Butte

You may have had the feeling that you've somehow seen this before. The game was very reminiscent of a game played 2 weeks ago in Butte in which the Diggers won 95-82 and ended in very similar fashion.

Millner would come off the bench to lead the Argos in scoring with 22 while Harris-Williams got 11, but perhaps nobody got bigger points than Montana Tech's Hayden Diekhans who would score on consecutive possessions with under 2:00 to go in overtime, both on beautiful baseline drives, extending an 89-87 Oredigger lead to an eventual 94-87 victory. Diekhans would notch a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. And as far as team scoring goes, the Diggers were deep and balanced with everybody who scored doing so in double figures save for Keeley Bake who would end the game with 9. Caleb Bellach would lead the Diggers in scoring with 18 post Michael Ure wound up with 15 points, Bridger Larson would equal Diekhans' 14 points and Crishon Dixon and Asa Williams would get 12 apiece.
