HAVRE, Mont. – Quincy Bair scored a career-high 32 points, but it wasn't enough as the Westminster men's basketball team saw a late three-point barrage from Montana State-Northern lead them to a 68-63 win in Frontier Conference action on Saturday night in Armory Gymnasium.
 
Westminster falls to 8-10 overall this season and they are now 1-4 in Frontier action with the loss. MSU-Northern improves to 13-9 overall and 2-4 in the league.
 
Bair shot 10-of-13 from the field and made four treys in scoring the most points by a Griffin this season. It is only the second time in his career the junior has surpassed 20 points in a game and almost double his previous season-best of 18. He also grabbed three rebounds and recorded a steal in the win.
 
The Griffins shot 50 percent from the floor in the game and they were 6-of-16 (37.5 percent) from beyond the arc. They finished the game with a 27-25 rebounding advantage, but allowed Northern to grab 12 offensive rebounds – five in a single possession late in the second half – and watched the Lights connect from three 13 times.
 
Jordan Pryor was the only other Griffin in double figures with 11 while Nick Jenson finished with six points and 10 rebounds (five offensive).
 
Trevail Lee led Northern with 19 points after shooting 6-of-12 from beyond the arc. Corbin Pearson added 13 points and 11 rebounds.
 
The Griffins will spend next weekend at home for a pair of games to complete the first half of the conference season. They begin the week against Montana Tech on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. MT in the Behnken Field House. Tickets for that game and all remaining home games are available at WestminsterGriffins.com/tickets.
