Montana State hosts what amounts to a gigantic pre-Super Bowl party on Sunday, as defending Big Sky champion Portland State invades Worthington Arena. The game serves as an appetizer for Super Sunday’s football game, which should begin after the Bobcat basketball game. On the hardwood, Sunday’s game provides the Altitude Television audience an interesting matchup between explosive and talented PSU and a Bobcat squad looking to stay in the conference title hunt.
