BBQ is probably my favorite "traditional" Big Sky opponent, but given the nature of a 4-5 game, and how close the relative records are, I wouldn't be so quick to jump to the conclusion that the Griz will lose. A Griz win wouldn't be all THAT big of an upset here....

Griz limped across the finish line with a 3-8 record, losing to NAU, ISU, Idaho and Sac. They aren't beating Weber.

I dunno. The Griz have won 8 of their last 9 tournament games against Weber (including a win last year). Weber also finished this season 2-6.

yes, I didn't know that when I typed that response. NEITHER team has performed well since that war that was won by Weber...

The way Weber is playing and the lack of wins against Montana in the tourney I have zero confidence in Weber's chances today.

After the women went 2-4-6-8 in the first round of their tournament, it would be funny if the men went 1-3-5-7.
