UND up 17-10 on Montana after the 1st quarter.

now its official big win for ISU, MSU has to be gut-punched after that one. Griz/UND game just took on a different level of importance after that MSU loss

hold up... they are putting .2 up on the clock

ISU at the BUZZER!

Halftime of Game 1 between MSU and ISU has the Lady Cats up 28-19 over ISU 3rd Quarter about to start

To add to the intrigue, http://www.bigskybball.com/

The UND/Montana matchup today should be pretty good. Its going to be tough to try and beat Montana twice in 7 days, but if they play like they can they should be able to advance.

It wasn't pretty, but behind another great Hooker performance lead UND to take the first round game against SUU. Now they move on to take on ISU for the 3rd time this season. Winner of this game gets the Weber/PSU winner UND has never lost to ISU since entering the Big Sky, going 7-0. This matchup will feature two of the very best in the Big Sky in Telfair and Hooker and should be another battle of the guards. But UND does have an advantage in the forward and center position and needs to take advantage of it. Need to shake off yesterdays performance and try to recapture some of that play that was with them in late January. Other Games: Weber vs PSU 2:35 Montana vs Sac State 7:35 Idaho vs EWU 10:05 The call: The old adage that is believe by some that it is tough to beat a team 3 times in a season. How can UND avoid the trap? Doing what they have been doing against ISU. Keep the guards from going off, Hooker having a good game and an balanced attack from Drick and Geno. The first matchup was 84-76 UND and the 2nd was 76-60 UND. I think the game will lean towards game 1 than game 2 in terms of score... but the results will stay the same UND 81-73 Other games: Weber over PSU: They get a scare from PSU, but Weebs has enough to get the job done Montana over Sac: They too get a scare, but the Griz make plays done the stretch to pull it out Idaho over EWU: Toughest matchup outside of ISU/UND to call, I could see this go either way but Idaho at full health seems to be back to where they were at the beginning of the conference season. If McBroom goes off to help Jois, then the Ealges might have enough to beat the Vandals.

Ah crud.. forgot to convert over. Made the change to Central

Back on topic. EWU is running away in the last game so here is the quarters for Thursday Game 5: No. 1 Weber State vs No. 8 Portland State, 2:05 p.m. Game 6: No. 4 Idaho State vs No. 5 North Dakota, 4:35 p.m. Game 7: No. 2 Montana vs No. 10 Sacramento State, 7:35 p.m. Game 8: No. 3 Idaho vs No. 6 Eastern Washington, 10:05 p.m. All games in Central Time

Why the heck should it ever leave SF?

I would have loved Salt Lake City Or just stuck with home arenas.

Why is this thread still going? Have gone way past the game itself.

They won. Its all I will say

Last UND president candidate has finished visit. So who gets to move on to the final stage? In 1 week, we might have a new president.

Halftime in game 1 PSU up on UNC 36-30

Keep the coach stuff out of this thread...

Weber up 25 at the end of them 3rd quarter, so I am going to safely advance them to the next round.. with that said Wednesday Quarterfinal Matchups Game 5: #1 MSU vs #8 ISU 2:05 PM Game 6: #4 UND vs #5 Mont 4:35 PM Game 7: #2 EWU vs #7 SAC 7:35 PM Game 8: #3 Idaho vs #6 Weber 10:05 PM Fun match-ups ahead and I wouldn't be surprise to see a few upsets on Wednesday.

No upsets in the other 2 games: Montana and Sac State advance Weber and PSU clash in the nightcap

I guess the other question I have is if Idaho does go down the Big Sky route, how soon do they say yes? Something that comes down in a few weeks or something that happens later on in the summer (with an extension of the deadline)

Surprised there wasn't more than 2 unanimous choices for 1st team

ISU will move on to play the Lady Cats, taking down UNC 54-45 MSU had had problems with ISU, should be a good quarterfinal matchup Bracket will be updated at the end of the night

What would be more likely, Idaho going to the Sky or taking the Indy route?

I got a call UND vs the Purple cows in St. Paul make it happen

At the very least its Eversport. Got the ISU/UNC game on right now Bengals up 38-25 in the 3rd. About 3 minutes left in the quarter
