Grizzly Encounter:
The 72nd meeting between the Bobcats and Lady Griz will be played Friday night in Worthington Arena.

Scouting The Opponents:

Tyler leads UM under the boards at 8.0 rpg. Senior point-guard Brooklynn Lorenzen is the key to Montana’s offense. Lorenzen, who is this week’s Big Sky Conference Player of the Week, averaged 12.5 points and 9.5 assists last weekend.
