Bracket Buster Game

[BelierPeaux]

Anyone have any info other than what is on the schedule regarding this game? When do they determine who plays who and where it's played? I had heard it would be in Missoula but it doesn't say it on the schedule.

It is on the schedule. It is a road game. Should know who we play by end of this month or early ln february.

Thanks! Bummer it's on the road. Is that mainly because we are a smaller market?

No. Montana was in a bracket buster game before which was at home. Montana State is hosting a bracket buster game this year.

I have tried to find the exact date when they were going to announce the matchups, but haven't found info on this years bracketbuster. My info is pretty much based on prior years which were announced around the time I mentioned. I notice the schedule for the Griz on gogriz.com has it tba. but the schedule on www.montanagrizzlies.com has the griz on the road.

I actually prefer the bracket buster game on the road. the purpose of the bracketbuster games are a last chance to help teams improve their rpi. conference games generally do not. A home game is just not going to improve the rpi much, but stands a greater chance at weakening it instead if you lose at home. that is because a home win is worth only .4 to the win column and a home loss is worth 1.4 to the loss column. a road win is worth 1.4 to the win column and only .4 to the loss column.

Has nothing to do with market size. I am pretty sure that MSU is hosting a bracket buster game.

January 31, 2011 is the date the pairings should be announced.

K, thanks. I could have sworn the WI-Milwaukee game was a road game last time.
