Boxscore

BILLINGS, Mont. - DeAndre Chambers made three three-pointers in the final 94 seconds as Montana State Billings rallied from a 70-65 deficit to edge Northwest Nazarene 74-72 at Alterowitz Gym.

Chambers, who made five of seven treys and finished with 20 points, pulled the Yellowjackets to within two points with 1:34 left and then following a layup by Brian Barkdoll with 1:20 showing on the clock, he repeated his long-range artistry cutting Northwest Nazarene's lead to one with 1:07 remaining

The Yellowjackets then needed a defensive stop and got one - from Derrick Wright. Wright blocked a layup try by Barkdoll and also grabbed the rebound with 37 seconds left on the clock.

Then with 14 seconds remaining Chambers once again drilled one in from the outside. NNU tried to match it but Anthony Golden missed from three as time expired

Point guard DaVell Jackson matched Chambers' point total of 20 and also had seven assists, five rebounds and five steals. Wright finished with 17 points on seven of 10 shooting and Mike McCrary had 11, making three of four including all three of his three-point trys.

In all, MSUB made nine of 15 from the arc and 25 of 51 overall (49 percent). Northwest Nazarene had similar numbers from the floor, cashing in on 28 of 58 but was just seven of 18 from the three-point line.

Barkdoll led the Crusaders with 15 points, while Golden and Drew Eisinger had 14 and 12 points, respectively, in the closely contested game, which featured 14 ties.

MSUB's largest lead was six and NNU never led by more than its five-point margin inside the final two minutes
