Last Second Tip Puts Orediggers Over the Top

GREAT FALLS, Mont. -  Montana Tech is moving on and back into the Frontier Conference Tournament Championship game. Last second heroics earned the Orediggers a 83-82 victory over Montana Western. 

Ifeanyi Okeke grabbed the offensive board after Asa Williams layup just missed the basket. Okeke's put back attempt bounced off the rim and he tipped the basketball in for the go-ahead bucket leaving 5.1 seconds on the clock for Montana Western. The Bulldogs did not convert on the other end when Quincy Taylor missed on a last second three pointer. 

The Orediggers play at 5 p.m. tomorrow against the Carroll College Fighting Saints.
