LAVAL, Quebec — Montana State's 23rd turnover of the game gave Middle Tennessee the ball back with 31.9 seconds remaining in the game, facing a one-point deficit. Elias King's second-chance layup gave his team a 72-71 lead, and the Blue Raiders held on for the final 18 seconds to finish the Northern Classic undefeated.

MTSU used its length to make the Bobcats uncomfortable, forcing 14 turnovers in the second half with the help of an extended zone press.
