The Bobcat Nation

The annual Big Sky/Summit League Challenge happens this week. Men and women both play on Wednesday, Dec 3rd and Saturday, Dec 6th.

Men play St. Thomas on Wednesday in the Brick and head to Oral Roberts in Tulsa for a Saturday night contest.

Women play on the road at North Dakota State on Wednesday and return home for a Saturday night game against North Dakota.

If you are coming to Bozeman for the Yale playoff game on Saturday, buy tickets and watch our great women’s team on Saturday night!

On the men's side, St. Thomas was picked 1st in the Summit League Preseason poll and is currently 6-3 on the season. They have played one Big Sky opponent, beating UNC 73-72 on a neutral court. Oral Roberts was picked 9th (out of 9) in the Preseason poll and is 3-6 so far with only 1 win against D-1 opponents.

For the women, NDSU was picked to finish 2nd in the Summit League and is 5-2 so far. UND was picked to finish 7th and is only 1-7 so far with their one win coming against Wyoming. Neither has played any other Big Sky opponents to this point.

Should be a fun set of games, I'm particularly looking forward to seeing how the women do against a good NDSU team on Wednesday to follow up their big win over Colorado!

Saturday is going to be a LONG day.

Ha! That is a good plan…except I have to haul all the tailgate stuff home every game for ours! And looks like it might be a rain snow day….hope not.

Yeah me too. All that stuff can get wet, it'll dry out in the garage!

So far this year consistently losing close games to good teams. Have a good feeling about tonight. Important to get off to a fast start.
