Chris is doing some changes on bigskyfans and egriz. I was hoping they would be done before the GRIZ/EWU Altitude game of the week at 2 MST.

Game starting right now on DirecTV, channel 681.

GRIZ not playing well in the 1st half. Meanwhile EWU is hitting everything.

GRIZ not playing well in the 1st half. Meanwhile EWU is hitting everything.

Griz look much better early in the second half...on a 9-0 run to start.

They're leaving a LOT of points at the charity stripe.

[AZGrizFan]

If this dumb fucking announcer calls us Montana STATE one more time, I'm going to throw my shoe at the TV.

[AZGrizFan]

Griz on 14-2 run. Up by 3 now.

[AZGrizFan]

Griz pulling away. EWU has only scored 10 points in the second half. Griz have scored 26

[AZGrizFan]

EWU back up by 2. Griz have fallen back asleep.

[AZGrizFan]

Why is Selvig shooting? He looks HORRIBLE. Johnson, on the other hand, is like buttah.

[AZGrizFan]

Griz screw the pooch. Losing to another bottom-half team. WTF? The day after UNC loses and HANDS the Griz 2nd place, they go out and lay an egg...

[mtgrizfan4life]

Better 2nd half for the GRIZ, should have never let EWU back into it, and that official needs to swallow the damn whistle in the closing seconds, unless it is an obvious foul. AJ did not foul Dean. Oh well, we end the regular season at home. Should be 11-5 in conference.

If that same play happens at the other end, it's not called. Home court advantage...

Bet the Griz wish they could have a couple of those early clanked free throws back.
