Patrick's Sacramento State Fall to Weber State
|
Despite a late surge, David Patrick’s Sacramento State could not quite get over the hump in a 70 - 64 loss to Weber State in the Big Sky Conference Tournament Quarterfinals at Idaho Central Arena.
Sacramento State received a first-round bye at the Big Sky Tournament for the first time since joining the league in 1996. Patrick and his staff have laid the foundation, as the 14 victories are the most by a first-year head coach in Sacramento State's Div. I era (1991-pres.). It's also the third-best mark for a first-year head coach in program history (1948-pres.), trailing only Dr. Hal Wolf (18 wins in 1952-53) and Joseph Anders (22 in 1987-88).
Weber State never trailed, and withstood a late Sacramento State rally, to advance to the Semi-Final. Sacramento State used a 7-0 run to slice a 12-point deficit to 66-61 with just under 50 seconds to play. However, Weber State converted each of their final four free throw attempts spanning the last 25 seconds to put the game away.

Patrick's Sacramento State Defeat Portland State
|
When David Patrick’s Sacramento State needed it most, point guard Gianni Hunt came up huge in scoring the final seven points and leading them to a 76-74 road win at Portland State.
The game marked the regular season finale, and the winner would receive a first-round bye at the Big Sky Tournament while the loser would have to play in the first round.
That's what made Hunt's heroics so big - it came on a large stage that will now see Sacramento State enjoy a Big Sky Tourney First Round Bye for the first time since joining the league in 1996.
Sacramento State will be the No. 6 seed (the top six seeds receive a bye) and play No. 3 Weber State in the Quarter-Final Round in Boise on Monday.

Patrick's Sacramento State Defeat Idaho State
|
Callum McRae had 21 points and 15 rebounds, and Cameron Wilbon added 14 points and six boards to help propel David Patrick’s Sacramento State to a 70 - 65 victory over Idaho State at the Nest.
Sacramento State led the final 17:54 of the contest but had to survive some tense moments late. After a fast break dunk from Akol Mawein gave Sacramento State what looked like a comfortable 64-57 lead with 53 seconds left, Idaho State immediately responded with a Jay Nagle 3-ball. Sacramento State would then miss the front end of a 1-and-1, and Idaho State responded with another bucket to slice their deficit to 64-62 at the 26-second mark.
Things got even crazier when Idaho State forced a Sacramento State turnover with 23 seconds left, giving Idaho State a chance to tie or take the lead. However, Sacramento State forced a five-second call on the ensuing inbounds, and followed with a Hunter Marks fast break dunk to go up, 66-62, with 21 seconds left. Sacramento State forced an Idaho State miss, and a pair of McRae free throws put the game away.
