Bobcats Host Geoducks Friday
12/27/2007 12:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball
Montana State wraps up its non-conference slate with a flurry this weekend, hosting NAIA foe Evergreen State Friday before traveling to Corvallis, Ore., for a regionally-televised Sunday night game at Oregon State. The Bobcats enter the pivotal weekend hoping to clinch a winning non-league record for the first time in four years. Evergreen State carries an impressive 7-2 mark into Friday’s contest - and, yes, the team’s nickname is pronounced GOO-ee-ducks - while Oregon State of the Pac 10 is 6-5, and Sunday’s game is the Beavers’ first since Christmas.
