Montana is always jacked up to play the EAGS. Match the griz intensity and the EAGS will win comfortably.

Good, well fought first half. The EAGS will wear them down the second half.

Great finish EAGS!
That's the way you beat a plucky, inferior team. :thumb:

This was a gutty win, because Eastern couldn’t shoot a lick for a large portion of the game. This one was “manufactured” through outworking the opponent.
Who would have thought the team that pissed away an extraordinary lead at South Dakota State, got mowed by WSU, and lost to a dubious Florida International team would be 6-0 in conference play?
Gotta give credit to the coaches, because it looked for a while that this was going to be a down year. Northern Colorado up next, and they’re a team that is a lot better than their record would indicate.

I agree Obzerver. The defensive intensity last night was impressive. What sticks out to me is the balance this team has. When was the last time we had 2 big men who could knock down clutch three pointers? OK. Maybe the Groves brothers. Maybe. Who was the last guy like Coward who could come off the bench and immediately play lock down defense as well as provide scoring punch? Riley too has figured out how to massage the rotation to the max. The bench is deep and can provide more than just a breather for the starters. Riley deserves a ton of credit for getting this team together quickly. Shantay is in Portland getting boatraced every other night, Jim Hayford is God knows where, while Riley has this Eastern team is atop the Big Sky standings.

Amazing run of good coaches that all started with Jim Hayford when he left Whitworth for EWU.
Guessing Riley will be gone after this year, assuming they win the conf tourney and play well in the dance.
For a one-bid league like the Big Sky, it will come down to the conf tournament, but this is a well-coahed team that can defend, shoots a high FT % and shoot the 3.
