Montana wins 80-64. Close game til the end.

Waiting on TrueGriz' post game rap-up.

What seed does everyone think they'll get?

any ideas where the ladies will play the first round game yet?

My wrapup is in another thread. Seed can be as high as 11 (though I doubt it) as one site (collegerpi.com, which the projections are out of date) has the Lady Griz. ESPN has Lady Griz at 12, which will be, in my opinion, the highest the Lady Griz will go. But, collegerpi.com had Lady Griz correct last year at 12, and got the majority of the other seeds right, so 11 could be a possibility. But, then when collegerpi.com updates the site with the latest projection that will reflect all games finished through today, Montana may drop or rise, but I think will drop to 12.

The lowest I think the Lady Griz will be is 14th. I do not think the Lady Griz have been seeded lower than 14th for a long time if ever, longer than I can remember. Most of the time it has been anywhere from 9th to 12th.

Montana was a 16 seed in 1999-2000 when they got pounded by Georgia 74-46

Yeah, thanks for reminding me.

But, Montana wasn't as strong, wasn't even ranked in the top 100 in RPI considering the schedule wasn't even close to the strength of this year. This year, Lady Griz are ranked in RPI above 60 according to collegerpi.com. Plus the Big Sky conference that year was the second worst in the NCAA. This year, it is ranked 18th out of 31, better than last year.

Lady Griz should not be ranked lower than 14th this year.
