"Since last year, the Griz have switched from playing a pack-line defense to playing an aggressive style that allows players to know where their help is coming from on rotations and aims to create turnovers. Montana head coach Travis DeCuire said the new defensive system has been partly responsible for flustering and shutting down Hall.
“Right now, I have a more defensive-minded group,” DeCuire said. “We’re more athletic, we’re longer, we’re quicker and we’re more aggressive and we can recover more than we could in the past. Those shots that are uncontested a year ago are no longer uncontested now. Some of it is personnel and some of it is our scheme.”
When the Griz and Cats played in Bozeman, it was a heavy dose of lengthy 6-7 Bobby Moorehead and a pinch of high-energy Timmy Falls that limited Hall to 10 points on 3-of-9 shooting. Although Hall was dealing with an illness, Cats head coach Brian Fish had said he didn’t think that affected Hall’s play.
Saturday, it was Moorehead and his wingspan who again drew the primary assignment on Hall. When he got in foul trouble, veteran guard Ahmaad Rorie took over defensive duties."
