West scored 21 total points, bringing him to 542 this season, but it wasn't enough to lift the Nanooks (7-12, 4-8 GNAC) above Seattle Pacific (16-5, 10-3 GNAC). They lost 87-74 in Seattle.
The Nanooks followed their usual modus operandi throughout the game—feeding the ball to West. The problem with the plan was West wasn't making baskets. He shot an uncharacteristic 6-for-25 from the field.
West was distributing the ball when he could. He led the team with six assists on the night, which marks a new season high for him.
By contrast, Brett Barkman shot 5-for-9, scoring 12 total points. Jarrett Miller was a perfect 3-for-3 from the field and 5-for-5 from the free throw line. He entered the game with a team-best .941 percentage from the stripe.
Alaska never got a grasp of the game. They were down by double-digits as early as 16:48 after a 12-2 opening run by the Falcons.
They trailed by 17 three separate times in the second half.
