Who would have thought that Montana after three weeks would be sitting on the edge of the conference playoffs. It has been a crazy season and there are a number of great games this week. It is going to be a fun season.

Game of the Week:

*NAU (1) @ UNC (1) 60/40 UNC

Battle for 1st place it looks like UNC is the favorite. I will have to watch the of end of this on Thursday night.

If everything holds form, Weber and UNC will separate themselves from the pack. Montana is not favored in either game this week and they could be looking at a long up hill climb. UND has to win at home hopefully they have nice weather in GF to get good crowds for Sac and NAU

Wow. Wild finish in Sacramento. Sac took the 1 point lead with 35 seconds left. Weber got fouled 30 feet from the basket with 15 sec left. Sac coach got a technical. Weber guy misses both technical free throws. Same weber guy makes both of the bonus free throws. So Weber goes up one. On ensuing Sac possession there is a loose ball scrum. Weber calls timeout in the meyley but the don't have one so they get a bench technical. Then the Weber coach gets another T on top of that. Sac makes all 4 technical free throws to go up by 3 with 7 seconds left. Then Weber makes a 3 to tie it. Then Sac makes an 80 footer at the buzzer to win it!

8 teams are separated by only 1 game for 3rd thru 10th place in the standings. 4 teams at 6-5 and 4 teams at 5-6. It's going to be a crazy finish as to who gets into the conference tournament. Looks like it will be played at Weber.
