A Busy Thursday Night

[Montana Gym Rat]

All eight teams are playing tonight in the BSC.

Montana leads ISU 32-21 at the half.

NAU is all over EWU 28-15 at the half I believe.

MSU is up on WSU 29-22 at the half.

PSU at SAC starts at 8:00pm.

The ISU game all of a sudden means more, as if MSU can hold off the Wildcats, a UM win tonight clinches the conference. I'm not too suprised that MSU is hanging with WSU as they have their backs to the wall. MSU has got enough talent to compete (as they proved in Missoula) and it looks like they are a half away from putting the pressure on Sacramento State to win out.

Gjersten just picked up her 3rd foul with 17 minutes left. 31-25.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

WSU has three 3's in the 2nd half already. WSU has their first lead 35-34 with 13:30 left.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

Back and forth game in Bozeman, now 42-41 WSU up less than 10 minutes left.

EWU has come back to tie the game with 12 minutes left.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

Sounds like some pretty bad officiating going on in Bozeman. Kudrna just got his first Technical of the year. The crowd is still booing about 90 seconds after the latest call.

WSU up 43-42.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

MSU now up 45-44. Nine lead changes in the 2nd half. Another bad call, apparent travel called a foul against MSU.

Weber now up 46-45, tenth lead change.

Weber's got a 6th player in stripes tonight.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

EWU up 45-38 on NAU with less than 10 to play.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

WSU up 48-45 with 5 minutes left, their largest lead. MSU is just 4-11 from the line.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

MSU gets the lead back on a Nelson layup. 50-49 with 2:30 left in the game.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

Gjersten just picked up her 4th foul on an offensive charge.

Gjersten hits a 3, puts WSU up 52-50 with 1:40 left.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

Buckless hits two FTs, 52-52.

O'Neil gets a bucket. WSU 54-52, 1:11 left.

MSU timeout.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

Buckless with the 3. MSU 55-54, less than a minute left.

O'Neil hits a bucket with 24 seconds left, 56-55.

MSU has the ball in the front court sideline.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

Questionable no call on the last shot of the game by Tanner.

WSU escapes Bozeman with a 56-55 win.

Dangit. A game MSU probably should have won. A little rig job by the BSC officials to set up the big game between UM and WSU?

Time to take care of business on Saturday night.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

PSU up 33-29 on SAC at the half.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

EWU holds a 61-59 advantage over NAU with 1:00 to play.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

It looks like its going to take overtime to decide the EWU/NAU matchup.

 

[MSU01]

Unbelievable officiating in the MSU game tonight, Fullerton must have hired those three clowns out of the Ogden Elementary School Rec League...the Griz will beat Weber on Saturday. Sad to see Burrows' career essentially ended like that though.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

EWU pulls off the big win in Flagstaff tonight in double OT, 82-78!

The Lady Griz were already in the driver's seat, but after tonight's games, they seem to have a little extra going for them.

Tough loss for MSU. If there's any justice in the world, PSU will get SAC tonight. PSU is up 50-48 with 4:43 left. (With a SAC win, MSU is eliminated from the playoffs)

 

[MSU01]

Wow, PSU wins it! Great to see that.

 

[Montana Gym Rat]

Well how about them apples. PSU pulls out the W 59-57. MSU is still alive. I really would like to see MSU make the post season.

P.S. Congrats to the PSU ladies on getting a conference victory this year!
