Bobcast Host Utah Valley on Saturday
12/15/2006 12:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball
After a week-long hiatus for final exams, the Bobcats return to the hardwood in a deja vu situation on Saturday against Utah Valley State. MSU opened the season with a 32-point loss in Orem against the experienced, explosive Wolverines, who own a 2-1 record against Big Sky opponents this year. UVSC is also 2-3 in road games against a difficult schedule that, like Montana State’s, includes games against Pac 10 and WAC opponents. David Heck and Ryan Toolson lead a balanced Utah Valley attack, each averaging 14.1 points a game.
