MBBALL 14 Seed!

…In a close game, second half……perhaps it could come down to who’s still got legs.
Wisconsin is so tough! Tonje is a great player. He is built like a linebacker, but is super fast.

I was thinking the same, ciyy and 11--we might have some help from Denver's mile-high altitude if we can keep it close in the first half vs. The Badgers !!!

He reminds me of one of the Portland State players.
When will we know the time?

Altitude effect is a real thing. Remember that when we played at NAU.

Throw that game out the window. It was their 2nd game of the season.
I don’t think you could’ve asked for much better if you’re the Griz. You get a 14, you get to stay on the west coast in a place where we have a decent alumni base, and you get to play at altitude in a place we’re familiar with. Wisconsin will be a tough out but they’re a much better matchup for us than many others.

Yeah, and avoiding one of the top two seeds is great.
Well deserved seed.

Possible strengths:
Guard play (critical at the Big Dance)
Depth
Altitude (we won at Northern Colorado)
Three point shooting
Secret weapon (Money)
Defense (Offense comes and goes; our defense is solid.)
Obvious weakness: Height deficiency
A must: One player to get white hot, Al’s Eric Hayes v. UCLA.

Any draw was going to be tough. This looks as good as any other one (ie... refer to the first sentence). Definitely a big challenge. Though, while I'm not a gambler I would bet on Montana with that huge spread.
Just hope our guys are relaxed so they can give it their best. Previous teams, including the last time we played Wisconsin, appeared far too tense. So often in this tourney we've had good shooters who suddenly couldn't hit anything. Consequently, we never really got going.
Doubt that happens this time. We have plenty of weapons and I believe these Grizzlies will score. This is a talented bunch of guys. It is the badger's height advantage which worries me. I'm uncertain how we can stop them. Though making 74% of our shots again sure as hell would help
Hey, our team did it. We are in the game. Go Griz!
