2/26/2006 12:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball
Something has to give Monday night, when a pair of struggling teams get together in Worthington Arena. Montana State enters its regular season finale on a five-game conference losing streak, while the Hornets have lost four straight (only one by more than five points) and eight of nine. Monday’s game sets up as a preliminary contest to a Big Sky Tournament rematch between the squads on Saturday, most likely to be played on the winner’s home court. A Bobcat win sets the rematch in Worthington Arena at 2:30 pm on Saturday.
