Montana State visits its past and a chunk of its future this weekend, traveling to Colorado’s front range for games at former Rocky Mountain Conference rivals Northern Colorado and Denver. The Bobcats got their first win with an 84-60 triumph over Wayland Baptist. MSU plays a pair of talented foes this week, facing a UNC team that has been in nearly every game it has played and a Denver squad that won the Top of the World Classic.
