Bobcats Head to ISU, Weber
2/1/2006 12:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball
Montana State closed the first half of the Big Sky season in strong
fashion, sweeping Eastern Washington and Portland State at home. The ‘Cats
moved to 5-2 in league play, 12-9 overall, with the wins, but faces five
of their remaining seven conference games away from Worthington Arena. The
second half kicks off Thursday night, when the Bobcats visit Idaho State.
The Bobcats topped ISU 84-72 in a hotly-contested game in Bozeman earlier
this season. Ja’Ron Jefferson (25 pts) and ISU’s Tim Henry (23 pts) waged
a memorable battle in that game.
