MISSOULA, Mont. - Anthony Johnson sank eight free throws in the final minutes and finished with a game-high 25 points to lead the University of Montana to a 95-82 victory over Boise State Saturday night.

Johnson finished perfect from the foul line, sinking 14-of-14. Raason Young added 22 points in the win.
