Inside The Den podcast makes its tournament debut
The Inside The Den podcast makes its Big Sky tournament debut with an episode previewing the team's week in Boise, Idaho. The episode features an wide-ranging interview with director of athletics Kent Haslam and a conversation with Riley Corcoran's radio counterparts at Eastern Washington and Northern Arizona as the trio dissect the conference tournament. The epsiode closes with sports information director Nic Hallisey, as he and Corcoran talk about Montana's quarterfinal matchup and conference tournament history.
It wasn't supposed to be this way
GoGriz.com takes a look at how Montana has exceeded expectations this season, playing as the No. 3 seed despite so much roster turnover.
Idaho State upsets Northern Arizona
No. 11 seed Idaho State upset No. 6 seed Northern Arizona on Wednesday, 64-62, to advance to the quarterfinals against Montana. The Grizzlies beat Idaho State in both meetings in 2020 and have beaten the Bengals 19 consecutive times dating back more than a decade. In January's meeting in Pocatello, the Grizzlies led by double digits in the first half before winning 77-74. Last month in Missoula, Sayeed Pridgett was one assist shy of a triple-double as the Grizzlies won 78-63.
