Griz received an ESPN2 game at Long Beach State.

Yawn. Didn't play them in a bracket buster few years ago?

Seriously, a good matchup between two also-rans and pretty easy travel for both schools.

Didn't UM beat them by about 40 early in the season?

Oddly, UM played Idaho twice. Beat them by 40 the first time in Missoula (73-33), and then only by 1 in Moscow (63-62).

So which outcome is more representative of UI's actual ability? If it's the midpoint, then it should be a pretty competitive game when we play them.

I happened across their schedule, and they are 12-9 overall right now, about the same as MSU. Should be an even matchup.

Yeah, Idaho has actually been playing pretty good basketball lately. Obviously, they played like sh*t in the first meeting. :shock:

I think if Howard plays well, the Cats win, however.

Idaho is much better than they showed in the first loss to the Griz earlier this year. In that game they were down 47-12 at halftime and were shooting only 13.6% (3-22).

Should be a good game. Hope the Cats end up coming away with a win. These bracket buster games should give us a pretty good indication as to where the Big Sky is compared to the other conferences, and possibly improve the conference RPI by a decent amount.
