NEXT UP: The Montana State women's basketball team will conclude the weekend at Portland State on Saturday at 2 p.m. (MST) at Lewis & Clark College, while PSU's new facility - Viking Pavilion - is built.
ON A SERIES NOTE: Montana State holds a 36-23 lead all-time against Portland State dating back to the 1976-77 campaign. The Vikings have taken the last three from the Bobcats, including a 69-65 victory last winter in the Stott Center. Before the current PSU, Montana State had knocked off the Vikings on five straight occasions. The Bobcats are 15-13 all-time against the Vikings in Portland.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME: The Cats saw the nation's second longest home court win streak snapped against Portland State on Jan. 11. The loss broke MSU's 31-game home streak, which was second to national power UConn (74). Before the loss to the Vikings, Montana State's last defeat in Worthington Arena was a 62-49 decision to San Diego on Nov. 24, 2015. MSU has won 34 of its last 36 games in the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. On another note, the Cats are averaging 2,487 fans per game, which ranks 51st in the nation and second in the Big Sky Conference.
THE NITTY GRITTY: According to the Feb. 5, 2018 NCAA Nitty-Gritty rankings the Bobcats are currently ranked #232 in the country. The highest Big Sky Conference listing belongs to Northern Colorado at #33, followed by #144 North Dakota, #149 Portland State, #154 Idaho, #159 Weber State, #165 Idaho State, #186 Eastern Washington and #226 Montana. Ranked behind Montana State is #277 Sacramento State, #311 Southern Utah and #328 Northern Arizona. The Bobcats finished the 2016-17 season ranked #59 - its highest finish ever.
RECORD-SETTING NIGHT: It only took three-minutes and 50-seconds for Hannah Caudill to find Blaire Braxton on the right block. Braxton gathered the ball and kissed it off the glass to give Caudill her 444th career assist and the all-time Montana State record as the Bobcats knocked off North Dakota 72-56 on Feb. 1. Caudill finished the game with eight assists to break Vicki Heebner Carle's mark of 443. Caudill has 459 career assists. Caudill is now 14th on the all-time Big Sky list. Last weekend, she passed her current head coach Tricia (Bader) Binford, who tallied 448 assists at Boise State from 1991-96.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS: A look at Portland State's win over Montana on Thursday night... 'A 12-0 run midway through the third quarter gave the Vikings the breathing room they needed en route to a 70-53 win over the Montana Lady Griz Thursday night at the Pamplin Sports Center at Lewis and Clark College. Portland State had three players score in double figures, led by (Ashely) Bolston and (Kiana) Brown who each had 14. Three others tallied eight points in the game.' - PSU SID
