BOZEMAN, Mont. – The Montana State men's basketball team will host the Bobcat Men's Basketball Tip-Off Event on Tuesday, Oct. 28, providing fans with an opportunity to get to know the 2025-26 Bobcats ahead of the team's season opener on Monday, Nov. 3.
The event will take place at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse starting with the 6th Man Club Social Hour at 5 p.m. Members of the 6th Man Club will receive email communication with more event details in the coming days. Doors will open to the general public at 6 p.m., with the main event taking place in Worthington Arena until 7:30 p.m.
The main event will open with player stations at 6 p.m., allowing fans to directly interact with the players. A silent auction will also take place during the opening hour, where attendees can bid for an Assistant Coach for a Game experience at select home men's basketball games.
Player introductions will begin at approximately 6:40 p.m. followed by a Q&A panel featuring select players and hosted by Keaton Gillogly, the play-by-play radio voice of the Bobcats. A live auction for Assistant Coach of the Game experiences for four select home games is slated for 7 p.m., with remarks by head coach Matt Logie to follow at 7:20 p.m. The event will conclude at approximately 7:30 p.m.
The four game experiences up for live auction include home contests against St. Thomas (Dec. 3), Northern Colorado (Jan. 1), Montana (Jan. 17), and Weber State (Jan. 24). All other home game experiences are available for silent auction except for the Jan. 3 game against Northern Arizona and the Feb. 7 contest against Eastern Washington.
Fans in attendance will get to know the new-look 2025-26 Bobcat roster, which features five returners and 10 newcomers. Redshirt senior Patrick McMahon, who averaged 9.9 points per game on 51.1% shooting last season, and senior Jed Miller, Montana State's steals leader (43) in 2024-25, lead the crop of returning players while redshirt junior Jeremiah Davis, redshirt sophomore Calum Rutherfurd, and redshirt freshman Grayson Gaddis also feature as familiar faces for the Bobcats.
Montana State welcomes seven transfers to the roster this season, with graduate students Davian Brown (Biola) and Chris Hodges (Wisconsin); juniors Seth Amunrud (Dawson CC) and Cavin Holden (Central Washington); redshirt sophomores Christian King (Washington) and Waka Mbatch (Florida State); and sophomore Jaden Steppe (Colorado State) all set for their first season in Blue and Gold. Additionally, three freshmen will make their collegiate debuts this season as Howie Keene (The Woodlands, Texas), CJ Purdie (Davidson, N.C.), and James Steward (Tempe, Ariz.) round out the 2025-26 Bobcat lineup.
Montana State will open the 2025-26 campaign at Colorado on Monday, Nov. 3. The game will take place at the CU Events Center in Boulder, Colo. at 7 p.m. and will air live on ESPN+. The Bobcats' first home contest will follow on Wednesday, Nov. 5, when MSU takes on Northwest Indian College in Worthington Arena at 7 p.m. (ESPN+).
