75-65 Final
Re the EWU-Gonzaga game . I have an issue with Bresnan Cable which has elected to take Fox Rocky Mtn out of Denver instead of the Fox NW feed from Seattle. This fall they forced W. Montana subscribers to watch canned sports shows while Fox NW was carrying PAC10 football live. Now the same with basketball, which is why we're not seeing the Gonzaga-EWU game. The problem is Bresnan MT is based in Billings which is strictly
Colorado/ Nuggets / Broncos country. Billings radio carries the Broncos while Missoula carried Seahawks/ Mariners.

What I've noticed here in Bozeman is that we get Fox Sports Rocky Mtn., but we also get all of the Mariners' games.
thumb I also think Billings gets Mariners radio, too. Bozeman gets Broncos radio too, and anytime there's a Broncos game, the CBS affiliate here carries it. I hope CBS carries Indy-Seattle this weekend instead of Oakland-Denver. So it's some kind of mix, I guess.
Solid effort by the Eags. As many stated, they will be tough in BSC play.
EWU insistence on posting up w/Stuckey cost them the game. Let him create off the dribble - the Zags have to collapse when he gets into the paint and he was doing a good job of dishing off or hitting the shot.

I was at the game and it was actually a closer game than 10..GU got a bunch of free throws in the last couple minutes.
I thought we might have a chance to pull it out but late turn-overs cost us this one. Stuckey had an "off" night and still managed to score 20, even though in the second half he was being doubled.
I think we'll be pretty good in Big Sky play.

Stuckey is the man. If that was an "off-night" then watch out. I was really pulling for EWU because (A) they are a BSC team and (B) there is something about Gonzaga that I really don't like. I just know we are going to wind up playing them in the bracket buster and I don't like it. Such a predictable matchup - let us play a Big 12 or a PAC 10 team.
Anyway, good game by the Eags.

I like Gonzaga every game except this one.
I thought Montana usually plays GU in the regular season, what gives?

I would love to play Gonzaga in the Bracket Buster! A top 10 team in Dahlberg, a geographically close team whose success we are trying to match. Plus one of the top 3 players in the country in Adam Morrison. How could you not love that matchup?

b/c we've played them about a billion times. It's nothing new. Why not UCLA? Why not Okie State? There are tons of other teams in the country that will be vying for a top seed on the tourney. Plus, Gonzaga being geographically close neutralizes one of our advantages.
It's just so predictable that we will be playing them. I would just like to see someone else is all. But I am sure it will be the Bulldogs.
02 that's not how bracket busting goes on ESPN. PAC 10 and Big 12 teams don't need more TV time. The entire point is showing teams from a Conf. that doesn't get a lot of air time and show the country they may deserve to get into the tourney instead of a mid ranked UCLA or OSU bubble team. Think like a NIU/GRIZ match up

Here are this years bracket-buster teams:
Home Teams:
Bradley, UW-Milwaukee, Creighton, Manhattan, Evansville, Saint Peter's, UNI, Ball State, Southern Illinois, Bowling Green, Wichita State, Central Michigan, Montana, Kent State, Montana State, Miami (Ohio), Winthrop, Ohio, UC Irvine, Western Michigan, Pacific, Valparaiso, UC Riverside, Austin Peay, Cal State Fullerton, Eastern Illinois, Drexel, Eastern Kentucky, Hofstra, Jacksonville State, Northeastern, Murray State, Old Dominion, College of Charleston, Virginia Commonwealth, Louisiana-Lafayette, Cleveland State, Western Kentucky, Detroit, St. Mary's (Cal.), UW-Green Bay, Boise State, Canisius, Hawai'i, Iona, Nevada, Loyola (Ill.), San Jose State, Loyola (Md.), Utah State.
Away Teams:
Drake, Siena, Illinois State, Akron, Indiana State, Buffalo, Missouri State, Eastern Michigan, Albany, Northern Illinois, Vermont, Toledo, Northern Arizona, Oral Roberts, Eastern Washington, Fairleigh Dickinson, High Point, Morehead State, UNC Asheville, Samford, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Southeast Missouri State, Long Beach State, Tennessee-Martin, Cal State Northridge, Tennessee State, UC Santa Barbara, Tennessee Tech, Delaware, Bucknell, George Mason, UNC Greensboro, Georgia State, Stephen F. Austin, Butler, Northwestern State, Illinois-Chicago, Arkansas State, Wright State, New Orleans, Youngstown State, Santa Clara, Fairfield, Fresno State, Marist, Idaho, Niagara, Louisiana Tech, Rider, New Mexico State.
No gonzaga or major conference (Pac 10) teams involved. They try to get good matchups with similar RPI, with teams that don't play each other during the year.
If you go by RPI right now you would say Buffalo or Tennessee Tech come to Missoula based on current rankings. From the west probably Fresno State. Rumor has it the Griz game might be one ESPN wants on TV, so I suspect we won't see an Idaho or New Mexico State here.
