Montana will host the Big Sky Conference tournament for the 16th time as the Lady Griz earned the Big Sky Conference regular season championship with home wins over Idaho and Eastern Washington last weekend in Missoula, Mont.
Sacramento State’s 123-point performance against Portland State on Saturday set a new Big Sky record for points scored in a game.
This year’s eight-team tournament will be held March 12 through 14 at Montana’s Dahlberg arena. That is, if the Montana men don’t win the Big Sky regular season crown. If both the UM men and women host the tournament, the women’s action will take place Wednesday March 11 with the semifinals on Friday and the championship on Saturday.
Despite two losses last weekend, North Dakota clinched a spot in the eight-team Big Sky tournament.
With five tournament spots already taken, the battle for the last three slots will be heated as Idaho State and NAU are tied with 8-8 records and Montana State holding eighth place with an 8-9 conference mark. ISU, NAU and MSU can all secure tournament bids with a win. Idaho, Southern Utah and Weber State are still in the hunt.
