The wait ends tonight

The Big Sky Conference schedule gets under way tonight as the Eagles host the Montana Grizzlies and the Montana State Bobcats travel to Portland State. After a long and grueling non-conference schedule, both the Eagles and Griz look to get back to their winning ways. They both hope to get their stars on track as Bob Meseroll writes in the Missoulian.

Tony Castleberry writes in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle about how Montana
State had to battle the weather to get to Portland to play Portland State tonight. Portland has been virtually shut down all week because of snow and freezing rain.

The Bobcats hold the best non-conference record in the Big Sky at 8-5, but eight of those games were played at home. The Bobcats are also coming off an impressive win over Colorado State on the road. They will travel after the game and fight more snowy conditions to take on the Eagles Saturday night in Cheney.
