Since he had been putting in some extra time in the gym, Damian Lillard figured that he'd be out to reap some rewards from his extra work. The Weber State point guard did just that on Saturday, as he scored a career-high 30 points and led the Wildcats to a come-from-behind win.
Lillard scored 30 points, including 11 of WSU's final 14, as the Wildcats topped Montana 64-56 at the Dee Events Center.
"In the past couple of games I haven't made a lot of shots, and it was coming from me not being in the gym enough and not getting up enough shots," said Lillard, whose previous career-high 28 points came in a win over Utah earlier this season. "I just came in (Friday) night and made sure my stroke was right, shot some free throws, shot a lot of 3's, some mid-range jumpers. If I'm putting in the work, why not show it?"
Lillard also led WSU with five assists and grabbed seven rebounds, while Steve Panos also reached double digits with 10 points...
