Hornets' Season Ends in Big Sky Tournament Loss

Sacramento States basketball season concluded with a challenging 68-45 defeat to Idaho in the Big Sky Conference Tournaments opening round. The Hornets grappled with offensive struggles, scoring a season-low 45 points and shooting 26% from the field and 18% from three-point range. Both teams started slow, with the first point not scored until 14 minutes and 48 seconds into the first half. Idaho took a 27-13 lead at halftime and maintained a double-digit advantage throughout the second half. Despite a strong defensive performance limiting Idaho to 35% shooting, Sacramento States offensive slump proved insurmountable. Jahni Summers led the Hornets with 10 points, the only player in double figures. Seniors Shaqir ONeal and Prophet Johnson played their final college games, with Sacramento State finishing 10 wins and 21 losses. Idaho advanced to the quarterfinals against Montana State, while Sacramento State heads into the off-season with increased momentum for next years Big Sky push.
