The biggest basketball games of the season arrive on Saturday, February 14th, as Montana takes on Montana State in a Griz-Cat doubleheader (Lady Griz at 2, Griz at 7). In between, Griz fans, families and community members are invited to the fourth annual Winter Pep Rally, which will take place on campus, at the River Bowl fields just north of the Adams Center and Campus Rec Center.

The Winter Pep Rally is FREE to attend and features a giant bonfire, the best fireworks show you've ever seen, a rail jam ski/snowboard competition, music, beer garden and more. Plus, snacks, hot chocolate and energy drinks will be provided for free.

Make it a full day on campus, starting with the Lady Griz game at 2, the Winter Pep Rally from 4-6:30, and the Griz game at 7. The Winter Pep Rally is free, while basketball tickets start at only $10.
