Montana takes center stage in Wichita
3/15/2018 9:02:00 AM | Men's Basketball
The Grizzlies opened the day with another practice at a local YMCA, before a relaxing afternoon back at the hotel.
Following the formal setting, Montana got to take the court for 40 minutes in front of a couple hundred basketball fans. The session allowed Montana to get some shots up inside the venue, but also was a way to have a little fun on the big stage, in front of fans.
The Grizzlies will get 20 more minutes allotted to them on the court on Thursday, which they will do before having a walk through, another film session and trying to keep relaxed and locked in with first tip not scheduled until close to 9 p.m. local time (7:50 p.m. MT).
Montana is playing in the NCAA tournament for the 11th time in school history, seventh time this century and first time since 2013.
