I think Weebs wins by double digits in the end after free throws. I think they are just fine to look past the Cats. I just hope the Griz don't look past NAU...always tough to play at 7000 feet even if NAU isn't that great. In Missoula, different story...Griz win a very close one. Only conference loss by Weebs on their way to a first round NCAA win this year..............

nau/sac is the toughest road trip because of travel. but since you have ogden instead of sac i am not sure hwhat that means but for us, it is good you are going to flagstaff on thurs. the big sky really gave us a beauty of a schedule if you take a close look. we dont even have to come to the montanas on the same weekend.
ever since unc joined i see the big sky schedule and usually hate it. this yr i was like woa....that is a great schedule.

Would be sweet to have a game saturday vs two unbeatens, but those two schools need to take care of business tonight
Wow..watched UM waltz over NAU with ease.....as i thought they would.Switched over to Weber and MSU....if Weber plays like that against UM, the Griz will win....mid way through the second and Lillard has 15....whatever MSU is doing is working as they are not down just 6...I hope my prediction of a Weber win is sooooooo wrong.....the Griz really do have a better than average shot at winning at Ogden..depends upon which Weber team shows up....

We don't need to win this game, but we do need to show the Weebs that their quest for the conference title won't be a cakewalk. And we still have some tough road games at EWU and Portland State. I was happy to see the reserves get some good minutes, and happy to see them more than hold up their end of the deal. We'll need good depth down the stretch.

Not sure about the "home cooking" but it might factual. I watched most of the MSU-Weber game and WSU would have lost had they not been given so many free throws...they are a good team and will be favored over UM, but if MSU can get them on the ropes, UM can.problem is UM is foul prone and the MSU game showed that Weber is going to be rewarded because, well, because....bobaloo said:

Looks like the opening line is Weber by 4. I'm kind of surprised it wasn't by more....
This should be a great game. You have two teams who are both pretty hot right now, and some of the best talent in the Big Sky on the court at the same time. There aren't many teams out there who wouldn't want Lillard, Bamforth, Cherry and Jamar on their team!

The Purple palace is a tough venue, but the Griz alrady are guaranteed a road split so the pressure is on Weber to win at home. If the Griz play with confidence and shoot the ball like they have they most certainly have a shot. You are not going to stop Lilliard, but you cannot let the rest of them have huge nights too.
THIS!
This has already been a successful road trip for Montana. Weebs has all the pressure in this game.

Tinkle's pregame talk should be a pretty easy one these days, rather it be on the road, or at home. "Keep doing what we have been doing, and take care of the ball."
Seriously, the GRIZ are playing some AWESOME ball, and on both ends of the court the past month. Scary part is, they are only getting better. I hope the GRIZ can continue find minutes for the young guys. The NAU game could not have gone better for the GRIZ.
A fresher, than expected GRIZ team will certainly help against Weber State.
I agree, Rule. I'll admit to being a little down on this team early in the year, when they weren't shooting well, and seemingly led the known world in fouls. But even then, they were playing lights-out D, and now that the offense has come together and everyone looks more comfortable in the offensive flow, it's been mighty fun to watch. If they can continue to get improved play from Hutch (and get Reader back), this team has a huge upside.
