This is from a January 23 article. Anyone else see it?

Montana is threatening to run away with the Big Sky, and maybe more.
The Griz are rolling, busting out to a 7-0 league start and going 9-2 since Dec. 3. Their defense has been stifling in Big Sky play, as it was when Bobby Moorehead and the Griz bottled up Montana State star Tyler Hall (10 points, 3-9 FG) in a road win last Saturday. Montana still has a quartert of difficult road games (Eastern Washington and Idaho, especially), but seems like the class of the Big Sky with the league’s top-ranked offensive and defensive efficiency.
It wasn’t that long ago that the Griz were an NCAA Tournament staple, going three times under Wayne Tinkle from 2009-2013. Fourth-year coach Travis DeCuire has kept them more than competitive, coming into the year with a 39-15 Big Sky record. But with a dynamic backcourt — Ahmaad Rorie, Michael Oguine — and a dominant big man in Jamar Akoh, the Griz could find themselves back in the March spotlight.

I don't know if it was completely the Griz defense that bottled up Tyler Hall when last they met. Granted, he's a dynamic player and the Griz have been consistent on their defensive acumen anyways, across the board on the BSC teams, at least. But the general rumor out is that Tyler Hall may have gained 20 to 30 pounds on his frame and that seems to have slowed him down, somewhat. But still great to beat the scats; in something at least.

Hall had the Flu and probably shouldn't have been playing in that game in the first place.
