Travis sure is impressive in his interviews, whether with the media or Jim Rome. His stock rises every time he speaks...The year after we beat Nevada and came within a half of the Sweet 16, we started to get some national press, which carried over to the next year when our first game was against...West Virginia. That's right, where John Beilein then coached. They absolutely suffocated us, end of national press...Beilein said yesterday that he was worried about the two new Griz, Manuel and Dorsey. But in my opinion there are two other Griz he hasn't seen, Mack Anderson and Sayeed Pridgett. I know Pridgett was there last year, but not THIS Sayeed Pridgett. When I watched the Creighton game with my friend from North Carolina, he immediately pointed out Pridgett. "We'll take him!"...Speaking of Creighton, remember how they bombed us with threes? I'd never seen anything like it. That's what it will take for us against Michigan...A notable sports radio host here is picking Tennessee and Michigan in the championship game. No Duke? "Nah. They're the worst three-point shooting team in the tournament." It's definitely the era of the three-ball...Another thing Travis said in the media interview: He was shocked during the Michigan game last year at how ineffective our bigs, Akoh and Krslovic, were against Michigan. Said we liked to play inside-out but that Michigan completely took that away from us. It's clear the game-plan for this year will be w-a-y different from last year...Michigan professes not to be overlooking us. But still, not one of their three players at media day knew anything about Montana, and Beilein himself had to look at his notes several times to remember the names of Montana players. You can't tell me they aren't overlooking us, at least to some degree...
