OGUINE SCORES 39 IN GUTSY ROAD WIN

PORTLAND, Ore. – Montana produced its gutsiest win of the season on Saturday a ernoon, overcoming a fi rst-half defi cit to beat Portland State, 92-89. The Grizzlies re-main undefeated in Big Sky play and handed the Vikings their fi rst home loss of the year.

Montana trailed by six, 48-42, at the hal ime intermission, but began the second half on an 11-4 run to regain the lead. Junior guard Michael Oguine had six of those 11 points, and fi nished the game with a career-high 39 on 12-of-17 shoo ng.

“It feels great,” head coach Travis DeCuire said. “In November and December, we weren’t winning these games. We learn from losses, and now that it counts and ma ers, these guys are believing in each other and fi nding ways to make it happen.”

Prior to last week, it had been 59 game since a Grizzly reached 30 points in a game, but two players have now accomplished the feat in the past three games, with Jamar Akoh scoring 34 points vs. Northern Colorado. Oguine’s 39 points are the most by a Montana player since Anthony Johnson scored 42 in the 2010 Big Sky champion-ship game vs. Weber State.

“He’s a gamer,” DeCuire said. “We knew he could get to the rim, and when he gets his jumper going he’s very hard to turn off . He was crashing the glass, he was fi gh ng for loose balls, he was making plays. We saw his eyes light up, so we let him go.”

Oguine scored a p-in with 14:42 remaining to give Montana a 57-56 lead. The Grizzlies would not trail for the remainder of the contest, but it wouldn’t be without some intense moments.

Montana pushed its lead to as many as 13, using a 13-2 run over a stretch of 3:05. Oguine had seven of those points, including a huge three-pointer in the corner that forced a Portland State meout. The run coincided with a hustle play at midcourt with Bobby Moorehead diving for a loose ball and ge ng a meout and posses-sion. A total of four off se ng technical fouls were issued a er a lengthy review, but Montana was able to use that as a mo va ng factor, scoring seven of the game’s next nine points.

“I think that’s when we won the game,” DeCuire said. “We were scrapping for that ball. We had two or three guys that had a hand on it, and they had two or three guys who had a hand on it. It was whoever laid out that was going to get the ball. It was an emo onal li for us. The bench went nuts. From there, the guys believed we were going to win this game by all means necessary.”

Leading by double digits with 5:34 to play, it looked as if Montana might cruise to victory, but coming out of the meout, the Vikings responded with a 10-1 run to get within four points. They would cut the defi cit to a single possession on mul ple occasions, but each me, Montana kept its separa on.

The Grizzlies led by just a single point, 84-83, with 1:12 to play, but made their next six free throws down the stretch.

For the second me in as many games, Montana overcame a fi rst-half defi cit. The fi rst 20 minutes saw seven es and 15 lead changes, but Montana was in front for the majority of the period. That was, however, un l the fi nal 3 minutes when Portland State scored 15 points in a span of 1:57 to go up by six, 48-42.

The Vikings made six of their fi nal nine shot a empts to close the half, a er beginning the game 10-of-34. At that same moment, Montana had as many makes as Portland State (10) but did so in half as many shots (17).

The Grizzlies came out strong to open the second half, and at one point were out-scor-ing the Vikings 37-18 in the second stanza. A big part of that was limi ng turnovers.

It was no secret that Portland State would try to press the Grizzlies and force them into mistakes. The Vikings entered the contest leading the country for steals and turnover margin, and that was evident early, with the Grizzlies turning the ball over 12 mes in the fi rst half. In the second period, though, Montana commi ed just seven turnovers, and forced the Vikings into nine.

“We se led in,” DeCuire said of the diff erence between the fi rst and second half. “They need turnovers to score. For us, it was our poise, the way we took care of the ball, and we got the shots we wanted when it ma ered.”

In addi on to Oguine’s record-se ng day, senior Fabijan Krslovic scored a season-most 15 points, his fi rst me in double fi gures this season. He also had eight rebound and three assists, while Jamar Akoh barely missed a double-double with 11 points and a team-high nine boards. Junior Ahmaad Rorie was once again in double fi gures with 16 points, while Sayeed Pridge had six points and four rebounds.

Adding to his 39 points, Oguine also had eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and a blocked shot. Montana made 55.1 percent of its shot a empts, and took a season-most 47 free throws.

The Grizzlies have now played four conference road games, coming away with a pair of sweeps. They will play one more road game next week, at Montana State.

MONTANA BASKETBALL

BATTLE OF TOP TEAMS IN BOZEMANTravis DeCuire has owned the Bobcats during his career, going 7-1 as a play-er and winning the fi rst fi ve mes as a head coach. Despite unprecedented success, the one game that stands out to DeCuire is the most recent one.

Last year’s loss in Bozeman snapped Montana’s 13-game winning streak over the Cats and le a bi er taste.

“I only remember one, and that’s the loss,” DeCuire said.

Playing in front of a sold-out arena, DeCuire said his team didn’t rise to the occasion, which has to be diff erent on Saturday.

“It meant more to them than it did to us,” he recalls. “You would have thought they were playing for a Big Sky championship with how their fans were cheering and how emo onal they were playing. We didn’t match that.”

UM’s Trever Spoja will be the only player on either team’s bench who hails from the Treasure State, but DeCuire believes last year’s loss opened his team’s eyes as to what the rivalry means. “We won at home earlier in the month, and I s ll don’t think our guys fully understood how emo onal it was going to be when we went to Bozeman,” DeCuire said. “The ones that played last year know how much it means now, I guarantee you that. They want revenge.”

Griz vs. Cats is an in-state rivalry that has been playing for more than a century and has been fi lled with countless memorable moments for both sides. Saturday is sure to be another one as the Grizzlies put their unbeaten record on the line. Montana is a perfect 6-0 and atop the Big Sky Confer-ence standings, while Montana State enters the week in second place.

The Big Sky Preseason Player of the Year Tyler Hall gets all of the a en on for MSU, and deservedly so given his 19.3 points-per-game average. The junior ranks fi h in the country with 69 three-pointers made, and does so at a 39.9 percent clip. As good as Hall has been, though, MSU is far from a one-man show.

“He’s their best scorer, but I think Harald Frey might be their most valuable player because he creates for others,” DeCuire said.

Frey ranks sixth in the Big Sky for assists, sixth for free-throw percentage and fi h for three-pointers made. Between the two, they create 43 percent of the team’s shots.

On off ense, DeCuire wants his team to be able to adapt.

“They do tricky stuff , and we’re going to have to recognize that during the course of the game,” he said.

As for defense, he knows that Hall and Frey might have big games, and that’s OK if they do. The big part is making them earn their points – with contested shots and by limi ng the three-pointers – and more importantly, making sure their other players don’t go off and have career nights.

“When we started playing well at the end of December, my thought was, ‘If we keep playing like this we can get off to a really good start.’ Now we need to ghten up some things and not lose sight of what we’re doing right. We’re going to con nue to fi ght one game at a me.”

SERIES VS. THE BOBCATSFor a series that has been played con nuously for more than a century, it’s remarkable how close the series history is. Saturday will be the 296th all- me mee ng between the Grizzlies and Bobcats, and should the visitors win, the series will be even at 148 wins apiece.

MSU is 95-48 all- me at home, but prior to last year’s defeat, Montana had won six in a row in Bozeman. In fact, Montana had won 13 in a row in the series da ng back to the 2010-11 season.

The series began in 1902-03 and has been played at least once in all but fi ve seasons over the past 107 years, including every season since 1960.

• In his fi rst game against the Bobcats, in 2014-15, Fabijan Krslovic scored eight points and tallied nine boards in a UM home win. He had 12 points in last year’s loss.

• Michael Oguine is averaging 19.5 points in four games vs. MSU, includ-ing 20-plus points on three occasions.

• Ahmaad Rorie went for 28 points on 8-of-12 shoo ng in last year’s home victory, followed by 19 points in Bozeman.

STARTING STRONGMontana is off to a 6-0 start to begin Big Sky Conference play, marking the fourth me in the Grizzlies’ 55-year history in the league. Travis DeCuire has been a part of three of those, twice as a coach and once as a player.

The Grizzlies have begun Big Sky play with six consecu ve victories in 2017-18, 2015-16 (six), 2012-13 (12) and 1991-92 (seven).

LEADING THE BIG SKYThrough six games, Montana holds a two-game lead in the Big Sky stand-ings. The Grizzlies, though, also are atop the conference for many off ensive and defensive sta s cal categories. The Grizzlies rank fi rst for:

• Scoring off ense (89.0)• Scoring margin (+17.0)• Field-goal defense (.391)• Three-point percentage (.436)• Rebounding (38.8)• Steals (9.7)

Addi onally, the Grizzlies rank second in the league for fi eld-goal per-centage (.511), rebounding margin (+7.2), turnover margin (+4.0) and assist-to-turnover ra o (1.2), and third for free-throw percentage (.882) and assists (14.3).

WINNING STREAKMontana is not only 6-0 to begin Big Sky play, but its six-game winning streak is its largest of the season. The Grizzlies have won six in a row and eight of their last nine, and a win Saturday at Montana State would match the longest win streak of Travis DeCuire’s career (also December 2015-Jan-uary 2016).

A er winning back-to-back games to open the season (Nov. 10 and 13), Montana alternated wins and losses over its next nine games before win-ning back-to-back contests vs. UC Riverside and UC Irvine (Dec. 17 and 19). The Grizzlies narrowly lost at Washington (Dec. 22) before ra ling off six wins in a row.

MONTANA BASKETBALL

ROAD STREAKA er losing four consecu ve road games throughout November and De-cember, Montana has strung together four consecu ve road wins, defea ng Northern Arizona (Dec. 28), Southern Utah (Dec. 30), Sacramento State (Jan. 11) and Portland State (Jan. 13). It marks the team’s fi rst four-game road winning streak since winning fi ve in a row to begin conference play in 2015-16.

NATIONAL RANKINGMontana cracked the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll for the fi rst me this season on Monday. The Mid-Major Poll ranks the top 25 teams

from the America East, Atlan c Sun, Big Sky, Big South, Big West, Colonial, Horizon, Ivy, Metro Atlan c, Mid-American, Mid-Eastern, Missouri Valley, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern, Southland, Southwestern, Sum-mit, Sun Belt, West Coast and Western Athle c conferences, in addi on to independents. The Grizzlies earned 87 points in this week’s poll, good for a No. 24 na onal ranking. The poll, now in its 19th season, is voted on by 31 head coaches.

OGUINE’S CAREER NIGHTFor the second consecu ve week, a Montana Grizzly was named the Big Sky Conference Ready Nutri on Player of the Week. Junior Michael Oguine earned his fi rst accolade a er leading the Grizzlies to a pair of road victo-ries. Oguine averaged 27.5 points per game on 68 percent shoo ng, also adding 12 total rebounds, six steals, fi ve assists and a blocked shot on the week. It was highlighted by a 39-point performance at Portland State that got him and the Griz featured on SportsCenter. The 39 points scored were the most by a Grizzly since Anthony Johnson scored 42 vs. Weber State in the 2010 Big Sky Conference championship game.

Twenty-four of Oguine’s career-high 39 points came in the second half, help-ing Montana overcome a six-point hal ime defi cit. The Grizzlies had runs of 11-0 and 13-2 in the second half, with Oguine scoring 11 points during those two stretches, including a huge three-pointer in the corner that gave Montana a game-high 13-point lead. Oguine also added a season-high eight rebounds vs. the Vikings. On Thursday at Sacrament State, he scored 16 points and had a team-most four steals.

PRONUNCIATION GUIDE

PULLING THROUGHAlthough Montana led Portland State (Jan. 13) by as many as 13 points in the second half, its lead was trimmed to a single point with 1:12 remaining in regula on. The Grizzlies hit their free throws down the stretch, though, to pull out their narrowest win of the season (92-89). Montana was previ-ously 0-2 in games decided by a single possession.

ALWAYS IN FRONTOf Montana’s fi ve Big Sky games, the Grizzlies have trailed for just 19 minutes, 6 seconds out of 240 total minutes. Montana never trailed against Northern Arizona or North Dakota, and has never trailed by more than two possessions.

TRENDING• Montana is undefeated at home this season (7-0).• The Grizzlies are a perfect 11-0 when leading at hal ime, compared to

2-5 when trailing. Last week marked Montana’s fi rst wins a er trailing at the intermission, doing so at both Sacramento State and Portland State.

• UM is 9-2 in games decided by double digits.• The Grizzlies are 8-0 when scoring 80 or more points.• Montana is 8-1 when opponents score fewer than 70 points, with the

excep on coming in a three-point loss at Washington. • Montana is 10-0 when shoo ng above .450.• Montana is 4-0 when opponents shoot .400 or worse.• Ironically, the Grizzlies are 4-0 when opponents make eight or more

three-pointers.• Montana is 11-2 when turning the ball over less than its opponent.• Montana is 8-1 when shoo ng more free throws.

ALL-AROUND RORIEAhmaad Rorie played in all 40 minutes vs. UC Santa Barbara and ranks 65th na onally for minutes played per game (35:16). He also ranks highly, however, for scoring (18.8 per game) and steals (27). In fact, Rorie is one of 14 NCAA Division I players to average at least 18.0 points and 1.5 steals per game.

He is the only Big Sky player to rank in the top 10 for scoring (sixth), assists (seventh) and steals (seventh).

MONTANA BASKETBALL

He is also ranked for free-throw percentage (second), assist-to-turnover ra o (second), three-point percentage (third) and fi eld-goal percentage (12th).

PERFECT FROM THE LINEAhmaad Rorie made his fi rst 24 free-throw a empts to begin Big Sky ac on. He is now 26-of-27 and ranks second in the league with a .963 free-throw percentage. On the season, he is making a team-best 83.6 percent of his free-throw a empts (68-of-81).

BE LIKE MIKEJunior guard Michael Oguine, a third-team All-Big Sky selec on in 2016-17, scored in double fi gures in the fi rst 11 games of the season, including 29 in a win at Pi (Nov. 13) and 39 at Portland State (Jan. 13).

Oguine does it all for the Griz, averaging 15.6 points per game and ranking second on the team for assists (38), steals (27) and blocked shots (12). Despite standing at just 6-2, he also ranks second for rebounding, averaging 4.9 boards per game.

During Big Sky play, Oguine ranks 11th in the league for scoring (17.8 points per game) and second for steals (1.8). Oguine ranks second for fi eld-goal percentage (60.3 percent), 13th for free-throw shoo ng (82.9 percent) and 15th for three-point shoo ng (42.1 percent). He and teammate Ahmaad Rorie are the only two Big Sky players to rank in the top 15 in all three shoo ng categories.

AKOH TAKING OVERThe Grizzlies had high hopes for Jamar Akoh, a transfer from Cal State Fullerton who redshirted a year ago. In his fi rst two games, however, he combined for just four points and two rebounds, being limited to 28 total minutes due to foul trouble.

Over the next 16 games, Akoh has taken over down low, averaging 15.4 points and 8.9 rebounds, and shoo ng 57.6 percent. He has 13 double-fi g-ure scoring games during that 16-game span, including 10 of the past 11 games

During conference play, Akoh ranks ninth in the league for scoring (18.5 points per game), second for rebounding (8.3) and 15th for steals (1.3). He is one of three players to rank in the top 15 for all three categories.

AKOH EARNS WEEKLY HONORSJunior forward Jamar Akoh was named player of the week by the Big Sky Conference and College Sports Madness on Jan. 8. It was the fi rst weekly honor of his career.

Akoh averaged 28.0 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. Against the Figh ng Hawks, he had a double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds – both team highs – in addi on to three assists and a steal. Two nights later, he scored 34 points, the most by a Grizzly in eight seasons (Anthony Johnson scored 42 in the 2010 Big Sky tle game vs. Weber State). The highlight of Akoh’s double-double vs. North Dakota came in the second half when he scored four points in a four-second span. He took advantage of a Griz steal for a breakaway dunk, before stealing the in-bounds pass and laying it in. Montana scored 109 points vs. North Dakota, its highest total against a Division-I opponent since 1992. The Grizzlies trailed for just 1:52 vs. Northern Colorado, in large part due to Akoh’s strong start. He scored 10 points in the fi rst 10 minutes, scoring 10 of the team’s fi rst 18 points.

NOTES

STOUT DEFENSEMontana ranks in the top third na onally for the majority of defensive sta s cal categories:

• 16.9 turnovers forced per game: 15th in NCAA (2nd in BSC)• 8.3 steals per game: 29th (2nd) • +3.5 turnover margin: 30th (2rd)• +5.3 rebounding margin: 51st (2nd)• 69.1 points allowed per game: 126th (3rd) • 3.8 blocked shots per game: 127th (3rd)

FORCING TURNOVERSMontana has forced at least 13 turnovers in every game this season and ranks among the na on’s best, forcing 16.94 turnovers per game (15th in NCAA). The Grizzlies have turned the ball over more mes than their opponent just four mes in 18 games and hold a +3.5 turnover margin (30th in NCAA).

On three occasions, Montana has forced 20 or more turnovers in a game, and in a win at Pi (Nov. 13), the Grizzlies forced the Panthers into 19 turnovers, conver ng them into 30 points – an average of 1.58 points per turnover.

CRASHING THE GLASSMontana has out-rebounded its opponents in 15 of its last 17 games, which is par cularly impressive considering four of those contests have come against Power-5 teams and another came against a UC Irvine team that ranked No. 2 na onally for total rebounds at the me.

Nearly 40 percent of Montana’s rebounds have come from the off ensive end (39.3 percent); that number was 28.6 percent a year ago. The Grizzlies are currently averaging 13.00 off ensive rebounds per game this season (24th in NCAA). Nearly one-sixth of Montana’s points have been sec-ond-chance opportuni es (234 points; 16.6 percent).

PRIDGETT PERFORMINGSophomore Sayeed Pridge is Montana’s fi rst player off the bench, and he’s quietly and consistently pu ng up strong performances for the Griz. In addi on to 7.8 points per game, Pridge is shoo ng at a 44-percent clip and ranks third on the team for steals (23) and fourth for assists (24) and blocked shots (10). His nine steals during Big Sky play are ed for seventh in the league.

MORE MOOREHEADBobby Moorehead struggled off ensively for much of his sophomore season in 2016-17, averaging 3.9 points per game on .320 shoo ng. The junior has turned things around in 2017-18, averaging 8.1 points per game and ranking second on the team for minutes played (32:20) and three-pointers (31). His 11 blocked shots rank third, while his 19 steals rank fourth. Earlier this week, Travis DeCuire called Moorehead his team’s ‘toughest’ player.

In last month’s win over UC Riverside (Dec. 17), he scored six points in a 10-second span to spark a 17-0 Griz scoring run. In the previous game, at Georgia State (Dec. 9), Moorehead hit back-to-back three-pointers to get the Griz within a single possession. At Stanford (Nov. 29), he scored 11 con-secu ve UM points in the second half to give the Griz a 40-37 advantage.

FRESHMAN FALLSTimmy Falls scored 12 points through Montana’s fi rst 10 games of the season before breaking out vs. UC Irvine (Dec. 19). The freshman played 22 minutes off the bench and scored 14 points, including 4-for-4 shoo ng from three-point range. Falls also had several no-look passes and took a charge on defense.

7


Since his breakout performance vs. UC Irvine, Falls has played at least 18 minutes in each game and is averaging 6.5 points. He’s also added 21 assists and 10 steals during the eight-game stretch. During Big Sky play, Falls ranks seventh for steals (1.5 per game) and 14th with a 2.8 assist-to-turnover ra o.

TERRIFIC TRIOMontana is the only school in the Big Sky to have three players rank in the top 15 for scoring, with juniors Ahmaad Rorie (20.2; sixth), Jamar Akoh (18.5; ninth) and Michael Oguine (17.8; 11th) accomplishing the feat. Entering the week, Montana was one of 20 teams na onally to have three players average at least 14.0 points per game.

Rorie has been in double fi gures 16 mes – including 20-plus on 10 occasions. Oguine has been in double fi gures in all but one contest, while Akoh has accomplished the feat in 10 of his past 11 contests, including four double-doubles.

WIDE MARGINThe Grizzlies recorded back-to-back 30-point victories (at Southern Utah, Dec. 30; vs. North Dakota, Jan. 4), marking the fi rst me in 44 years that Montana had won consecu ve games by 30 or more points. The last me the Grizzlies did it was in 1973-74, under Jud Heathcote. In the midst of a 13-game win streak, Montana defeated Gonzaga by 35 and Northern Arizona by 32.

Even with a three-point margin at Portland State, Montana is out-scoring its conference opponents 534-432, winning by an average of 17 points per game.

TRIPLE DIGITSMontana scored 109 points in a blowout win over North Dakota (Jan. 4), an off ensive performance that was historic on many levels:

• Montana reached the century mark for the fi rst me since December 2009 vs. Great Falls.

• It was Montana’s fi rst 100-point performance against a Division-I oppo-nent since December 1999 vs. Youngstown State.

• The 109 points were ed for the third-most in school history, and the most against a Division-I opponent since the Grizzlies scored 109 points against Idaho State, in March 1991.

FRESHMAN CONNECTIONFreshman Karl Nicholas scored a career-high 17 points on a perfect 8-for-8 shoo ng vs. North Dakota (Jan. 4), including four thunderous dunks that brought the crowd to its feet. The fi rst two came on back-to-back posses-sions, both coming off of turnovers. The next two also came in transi on and were fed by his freshman roommate Timmy Falls. First, Falls delivered a no-look, behind-the-head pass. He followed that up with an alley oop that he lobbed from half court.

Nicholas ranks 10th in the league with fi ve blocked shots, while falls ranks in the top 15 for both assists and steals.

EARLY LEADSMontana has led from start to fi nish three mes in the past month, and playing a key role has been its ability to jump out to early leads.

• Against UC Riverside, Montana led 9-0 before the Highlanders fi nally scored 6:20 into the contest. The Grizzlies also used a 17-0 run in the second half.

• Against Northern Arizona, Montana jumped out to a 7-0 lead.

• Despite trailing Southern Utah early, Montana went on a 33-6 fi rst-half run, holding the Thunderbirds without a fi eld goal for 12:42 (0-for-16 shoo ng).

• The Grizzlies led North Dakota 14-0 before the Figh ng Hawks fi nally scored, 7:16 into the contest (0-for-10 to start).

SEASON LOWSMontana’s defense held Northern Arizona (Dec. 28) to season lows for fi eld goals (16) and fi eld-goal percentage (.327). Both fi gures were season lows for UM opponents this season as well. Those marks lasted just two days, however, as the Griz defense was again dominant two days later. Southern Utah (Dec. 30) was held to 49 points, 15 fi eld goals and .263 shoo ng.

The 49 points and 15 fi eld goals were the fewest by an opponent since North Dakota scored 46 on 15-of-56 shoo ng on March 3, 2016. The fi eld-goal percentage was the lowest by an opponent since Montana State shot .259 on Jan. 17, 2015.

HOME SWEET HOMEThe Grizzlies hold a perfect 7-0 mark at home this season. Over the past two decades, Montana has begun a season with seven or more consecu ve home wins three mes, including twice in the past three seasons under Travis DeCuire.

Montana has won more than 80 percent of its contests in Dahlberg Arena over the past decade, going 111-25 (.816) since the start of the 2008-09 season. All- me, the Grizzlies boast one of the best home-court advantages, going 685-240 (.740) in their home arena.

50%In each of its last six homes games, Montana has made at least 50 percent of its shots, shoo ng 56 percent vs. Carroll (Nov. 26), 52 percent vs. CSUN (Dec. 3), 50 percent vs. UC Riverside (Dec. 17), 53 percent vs. UC Irvine (Dec. 19), a season-high 62 percent vs. North Dakota (Jan. 4) and 51 percent vs. Northern Colorado (Jan. 6).

During those six games, the Griz are averaging 88.8 points per game and a 17.0 margin of victory.

WELL CONDITIONEDEntering January, Montana had three players who averaged at least 33:00 minutes played per game. Ahmaad Rorie was averaging 36:36 per game, including all 40 minutes vs. UC Santa Barbara (Nov. 21). Fellow juniors Bob-by Moorehead (33:50) and Michael Oguine (33:00) were also among the na on’s leaders. In fact, Montana was one of 14 Division-I schools na on-ally to have three players average 33 minutes per game or be er. All three averages ranked in the top 10 in the Big Sky.

Montana has used a small rota on, with just seven players averaging at least 12 minutes per game. Twelve diff erent Grizzlies played at Penn State (Nov. 15), but just six played more than 7 minutes. It was the same two nights prior at Pi (Nov. 13), as Travis DeCuire used the same fi ve players throughout the fi nal 7:34 of the second half and all 5 minutes of over me.

NON-CONFERENCE SUCCESSMontana closed its non-conference season with a winning record (7-5) for the fi rst me in six seasons. In fact, despite a storied history that is li ered with conference championships and postseason berths, this season marks just the fi h me since the turn of the century that the Grizzlies have posted a winning non-conference mark. The other mes were in 2005-06,

8


2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 – with Montana advancing to the NCAA tournament three of those seasons and the CBI in 2011.

The feat is even more impressive considering the level of compe on Mon-tana faced. The Grizzlies played four Power-5 opponents (Pi , Penn State, Stanford and Washington, all on the road). The Grizzlies also played six of their fi rst nine games away from home, with an addi onal road game at No. 23 UCLA being canceled once the team was already on site. In addi on to the Power-5 opponents, UC Santa Barbara is off to a 13-5 start while UC Irvine was predicted to win the Big West and Georgia State was selected to fi nish second in the Sun Belt.

NARROW DEFEATSMontana fi nished non-conference play with its fi rst winning record in six seasons, but the Griz can’t help but wonder, ‘What if?’ as well. Of Mon-tana’s fi ve losses, the Grizzlies have led or been within a single possession late in the second half in all fi ve games.

• At Penn State (Big Ten), Montana held early leads and was within a single possession, 58-55, with under 4 minutes to play.

• In the championship game of the Legends Classic Malibu Region, Mon-tana overcame an 18-point defi cit to take the lead, including 48-46 with 12:51 remaining.

• At Stanford (Pac-12), Montana held mul ple second-half leads, includ-ing by as many as six points, 50-44, with under 10 minutes on the clock.

• Montana overcame a 17-point hal ime defi cit at Georgia State, tying the game and having the ball with under a minute to play.

• At Washington (Pac-12), Montana led with 4:16 to play and had the chance to e the game with two free-throw opportuni es with 5.1 seconds le on the clock.

ROAD WARRIORSThe Grizzlies traveled more than 12,000 miles during non-conference play – taking two trips to the East Coast, three fl ights to the state of California and one to nearby Sea le. Through the fi rst 30 days of the regular season, Montana was on the road for 19 of them.

• Following a season-opening win over Whitworth (Nov. 10), Montana was on a plane nine hours later for a six-day trip to the state of Penn-sylvania (Nov. 11-16).

• A er back-to-back games against Power-5 opponents (Pi and Penn State), Montana had two home prac ces before fl ying to California to con nue the Legends Classic (Nov. 19).

• The Grizzlies returned from California and had two prac ces in Missou-la to prepare for Carroll (Nov. 26).

• Montana had just one day in between its game against Carroll and fl ying to Stanford (le on Nov. 28).

• Montana returned from its trip to Stanford and had two home prac c-es before hos ng CSUN (Dec. 3).

• Following its win over CSUN, the Grizzlies had one day at home before fl ying to UCLA and Georgia State for a six-day road trip (Dec. 5-10).

HEARTBREAK VS. THE HUSKIESMontana had several chances at an addi onal non-conference victory over a Power-5 program, taking Washington down to the wire (Dec. 22). In the three-point loss, Montana held mul ple second-half leads, including one with under 4 minutes to play.

Despite the loss, Montana out-rebounded the Huskies, 41-27, including 20-6 on the off ensive glass. The Grizzlies also had 12 assists compared to Washington’s four, and converted 18 turnovers into 24 points. Washing-ton, however, got to the free-throw line 21 mes compared to just six for Montana.

DOMINANT DEFENSETwo nights a er Montana’s defense held UC Riverside to 38.5-percent shoo ng (a season low for a UM opponent), the Grizzlies’ strong defense was on full display. In an 18-point win over UC Irvine (Dec. 19), Montana’s defense forced 15 turnovers, including three shot-clock viola ons and two 10-second whistles. On off ense, the Grizzlies shot be er than 50 percent and scored 86 points (then a season high). A erward, Travis DeCuire said his team’s performance was the best of the season, and perhaps the best he’s seen his team play in his four years as head coach.

“Tonight is the fi rst me we’ve put 40 minutes together on both sides of the ball,” DeCuire said. “Our energy and the way we played together, and the way we executed on both sides of the ball, was incredible. I don’t know that we’ve played this well as a group, as a unit, since I’ve been here.”

HONORING DELVONPrior to Montana’s game vs. UC Irvine (Dec. 19), the Grizzlies recognized former player Delvon Anderson, who passed away in August at the age of 47. His family was on the court during a video ceremony and DeCuire and former head coach Blaine Taylor presented them with the Legend of the Game plaque – an award given to a former player or coach from each par- cipa ng team in the 2017 Legends Classic tournament.

DeCuire and Anderson played together in the early 1990s and Taylor was their coach. He is Montana’s winningest coach in school history (.680 winning percentage) and is now an assistant coach at UC Irvine. During Anderson’s two-year career at Montana, the Grizzlies won back-to-back Big Sky Conference championships. He was the conference MVP as a senior in 1992.

Throughout the season, players have worn No. 24 warmup jerseys to honor Anderson. Addi onally, a black stripe has been displayed on the le shoulder of all jerseys, recognizing Anderson and former head coach Jud Heathcote, who also passed away in August.

RUNNING FROM THE STARTMontana led start to fi nish in its win over UC Riverside (Dec. 17), using a 9-0 run to begin the game and a 17-0 run early in the second half. The Grizzlies held the Highlanders without a basket for the fi rst 6 minutes, 20 seconds, jumping out to a comfortable lead. A er UC Riverside scored on its fi rst shot a empt of the second half, the Grizzlies held them without a point for 6:23, going on 17-0 run. Montana led by as many as 29 points in the game and never trailed, limi ng the Highlanders to 38.5-percent shoo ng, including 21 fi rst-half points.

BUCKING THE TRENDOn several occasions, Montana has held its opponents far below their sea-son averages for specifi c sta s cal categories:

• Penn State entered its Nov. 15 contest vs. Montana ranked seventh na onally, averaging 13.0 steals per game. The Grizzlies protected the ball, however, limi ng the Ni any Lions to just three steals.

• A week later vs. UC Santa Barbara, Montana was going up against a Gauchos squad that ranked fi h na onally, turning the ball over just 8.0 mes per game. The Griz defense was ac ve and s ngy, forcing UCSB into 21 turnovers – nearly three mes its season average.

• Montana once again bucked the trend against UC Irvine (Dec. 19), out-rebounding the Anteaters, 37-29, despite UC Irvine entering the contest ranked No. 2 na onally for rebounding (42.3 per game). UCI was held to its lowest total of the season.

MONTANA BASKETBALL

• Southern Utah entered Dec. 30 ranked second in the conference and 57th na onally with 81.7 points per game. The Grizzlies limited the Thunderbirds to a season-low 49 points on 28.3-percent shoo ng.

FINALLY A SATURDAYMontana will play at least 11 games on Saturdays this season – more than any other day of the week. However, the Grizzlies didn’t play a Saturday game un l Dec. 9, a full month into the season. Only Oklahoma played more games to begin the season without a Saturday game.

GAME CANCELEDMontana was scheduled to play fi ve teams from Power-5 conference this season, but the Grizzlies’ contest at UCLA (Dec. 6) was canceled due to wild-fi res that were spreading throughout the area and shut down UCLA’s cam-pus. The Griz held one prac ce at Pauley Pavilion and scheduled another at a nearby gym in Los Angeles before depar ng for Atlanta to take on Georgia State. Ironically, there were talks of that game being canceled as well when a rare snowstorm took over the southern region of the United States and closed Georgia State’s campus.

NICHOLAS FINDING HIS FORMTravis DeCuire had high expecta ons for Karl Nicholas, but the freshman was limited early in the season due to foul trouble. Through his fi rst three career games, Nicholas averaged just 7.7 minutes per game, picking up four fouls in each contest.

The Texas na ve had a breakout week in Malibu, Calif., however, playing 18 minutes vs. Oral Roberts (Nov. 20) and 28 minutes vs. UC Santa Barbara (Nov. 21). Nicholas averaged 10.5 points per game over the two contests, connec ng on 10 of 15 shot a empts. He also added nine rebounds in the two games.

CLUTCH RORIEJunior guard Ahmaad Rorie has scored in double fi gures 16 mes this season, averaging 18.7 points per game. The point total is impressive, but more impressive is when he is scoring. Six of Rorie’s 18 points at Pi (Nov. 13) came in the over me period, while two nights later at Penn State (Nov. 15), he had four points, a steal and an assist during a 9-0 UM run to cut the Grizzlies’ defi cit to a single point, 51-50, midway through the second half.

The all-conference performer was on full display again vs. Oral Roberts (Nov. 20), scoring a team-high 18 points, in addi on to six assists and three steals. Trailing 17-16 with 8 minutes to play in the fi rst half, Montana closed the half on a 15-6 run. Rorie had nine points and two assists during that run, contribu ng to six of UM’s eight made fi eld goals. He was again clutch late, knocking down both free-throw a empts with 22 seconds to play to increase Montana’s lead to two possessions.

Rorie was named to the Legends Classic Malibu Region All-Tournament team a er playing 75 of 80 minutes and totaling 38 points, 12 assists, seven steals and six rebounds.

OGUINE RECOGNIZED BY COLLEGE SPORTS MADNESSJunior guard Michael Oguine was the College Sports Madness Big Sky Player of the Week for games played Nov. 13-19. Oguine scored a career-most 29 points in a signature victory at Pi (Nov. 13) and then two days later at Penn State (Nov. 15), totaled 15 points and grabbed seven boards in a narrow loss to the Ni any Lions.

NOTES

A SIGNATURE VICTORYA er coming close, but not close enough, mul ple mes against Power-5 teams, Montana fi nally got over the hump and knocked off Pi on Nov. 13 in Pi sburgh. The win snapped Montana’s 14-game losing streak against Power-5 schools and was the program’s fi rst since 2010. It marked Mon-tana’s fi rst over a team currently in the ACC since 1966.

Montana led for nearly 24 minutes against Pi , including by as many as seven points. Below are key stats that led the Grizzlies to their signature victory:

• Montana forced Pi into 19 turnovers, turning them into 30 points. Two of the turnovers were off ensive charges, one taken by Karl Nicho-las and another by Fabijan Krslovic. Krslovic fi nished with a team-most nine rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals.

• Montana out-rebounded Pi , 39-38, including 14-12 on the off ensive glass.

• The Grizzlies held the lead for 23:46, compared to 14:07 for the Pan-thers.

• Montana overcame foul trouble – three players fi nished the game with four fouls – and a slow start at the free-throw line. The Grizzlies began the game just 4-for-11 from the charity stripe before fi nishing 12-of-14 down the stretch – including 10 makes in a row at one point – to put the game out of reach.

• A er trailing by a game-most seven points, 28-21, with under 5 min-utes to play in the fi rst half, Montana closed the half on a 16-7 run to head into the intermission leading by two, 37-35.

• The Grizzlies started the game 0-for-7 from three-point range before Ahmaad Rorie hit back-to-back threes late in the fi rst half. Bobby Moorehead followed with two more, giving the Grizzlies 12 consecu- ve points off of three-pointers and a 33-32 advantage.

• Trailing by four, 69-65, with under 3 minutes to play, Montana went on an 8-2 run over the next 2 minutes to take a 73-71 advantage. Oguine scored all eight points for the Griz.

• A er alterna ng baskets to begin over me, Montana scored to take a 79-77 lead and then held Pi without a made fi eld goal over its fi nal three a empts.

PARTIAL ARRIVALMontana’s win at Pi (Nov. 13) was huge for the program. The Grizzlies knocked off an ACC team that has played in 13 of the last 16 NCAA tour-naments, on its home court no less. Pi entered the contest with a 135-5 all- me mark in non-conference games at the Petersen Events Center and had never lost a home opener in the building.

The victory, however, will mean li le if the team doesn’t use it as a spring-board into the rest of the season, par cularly in March.

“We want to win these games in November so we can win these games in March,” Travis DeCuire said a erward, no ng that he schedules games like these in order to prepare his team for Big Sky Conference ac on and, hopefully, the postseason.

BIG-GAMER OGUINEJunior guard Michael Oguine scored a career-high 29 points in Montana’s win at Pi (Nov. 13), but more impressive than the 29 points or team-most fi ve assists was the fact that Oguine took over when it ma ered most.

He scored 16 of his points in the fi nal 8:32 of regula on, including Mon-tana’s fi nal 10 points overall. Trailing 67-63 with 4:32 to play, Oguine out-scored Pi ’s en re team, 10-4, to give Montana a two-point lead in the fi nal minute of regula on.

DEBUTINGMontana’s season opener vs. Whitworth (Nov. 10) marked collegiate and UM debuts for several Grizzlies. Junior Jamar Akoh, a transfer from Cal State Fullerton, earned the start. Also seeing consistent me were freshmen Tim-my Falls and Karl Nicholas. In the fi nal minute of the game, Travis DeCuire inserted Admir Besovic, Niko Bevens and Lars Espe.

DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHPSThe off ense had been clicking, but the defense needed work. That was Travis DeCuire’s assessment through the fi rst month of prac ces and scrim-mages, leading up to Montana’s exhibi on contest vs. Saskatchewan (Nov. 6).

DeCuire saw his team’s ability to get stops, as Montana held Saskatchewan to 26-percent shoo ng in an 85-44 exhibi on victory. Leading by just two, 25-23, with under 8 minutes to play in the fi rst half, Montana went on a 36-4 run over the next 14 minutes – extending across both periods – and did not allow a fi eld goal during that span. The Huskies were 0-for-18 from the fl oor with 11 turnovers during that stretch. On the evening, Montana forced 12 steals and blocked a dozen shots.

ANDERSON SIGNEDMontana signed Mack Anderson to a Na onal Le er of Intent on Nov. 8. The Bozeman na ve selected Montana over off ers from Montana State and Air Force, and a er visi ng Boise State and Denver.

Anderson averaged nearly two blocks per game during the 2017 state tour-nament, helping Bozeman High School to a runner-up fi nish at the Montana Class 2A state tournament. A er mostly talking with NAIA schools, Ander-son burst onto the scene over the summer while playing for Montana Elite.

“I like his athle cism and agility,” Travis DeCuire said. “Not very o en do you get a 6-8 athlete who can run and jump and ball a li le bit. We’re excited about what he presents in the future.”

LOOKING AHEADA er three consecu ve games on the road, Montana will play seven of its fi nal 11 regular-season contests at home, including a pair next week vs. Southern Utah (Thursday) andNorthern Arizona (Saturday).

“Mike’s one of those guys where when he’s mad he’s be er,” Travis DeCuire said. “If he thinks it’s me to put everybody on his back, he’s going to get it done. He carried us when we needed him to.”

100 AND COUNTINGNov. 13 was a special night for the Montana basketball program, but for two Grizzlies in par cular.

Fabijan Krslovic played in his 100th consecu ve game. The senior from Australia has played in every UM game since the start of the 2014-15 sea-son (now 116, including 100 starts). Addi onally, the game against Pi was Travis DeCuire’s 100th game as head coach. The former Griz player was 59-41 following the signature victory, the fi h-best mark through 100 games out of Montana’s 25 head coaches. DeCuire has led Montana to a 2014-15 regular-season conference tle and back-to-back appearances in the Big Sky Conference tournament championship game (2015 and 2016).

STARTING STRONGMontana’s wins over Whitworth (Nov. 10) and Pi (Nov. 13) gave the Grizzlies their fi rst 2-0 start to a season since the 2009-10 squad began the year with three consecu ve wins. That team fi nished with a 22-10 record, winning a Big Sky championship and advancing to the NCAA tournament.

WORKING OVERTIMEMontana won its fi rst over me game in nearly two years on Nov. 13, defea ng Pi , 83-78. Prior to that, Montana’s last over me victory was a double-over me win at Northern Arizona on Dec. 31, 2015. The Grizzlies lost both over me contests in 2016-17.

GOING SMALLOne of the expected strengths to Montana’s roster this year is its height compared to a year ago. The Grizzlies have three players listed at 6-8 or tall-er compared to just one a year ago (UM also has three players 6-8 or taller who are redshir ng this season).

However, several mes this season Travis DeCuire has gone with a smaller lineup. The smaller unit allowed Montana to go on a second-half run in its season opener vs. Whitworth (Nov. 10) and has allowed the team to spread the ball be er and quicker.

HOME-OPENING SUCCESSWith Montana’s win over Whitworth (Nov. 10), the Grizzlies improved to 15-3 in home openers since the turn of the century.

RETURNING TALENTThe Grizzlies have the pieces to contend this season, returning three of their four consistent starters from 2016-17, in addi on to a pair of guards – Sayeed Pridge and Bobby Moorehead – who each start-ed about one-third of last year’s contests.

In total, Montana returns the majority of its produc on in all aspects of the game, bringing back its top two scorers, and four of its top fi ve. On the other end of the fl oor, Montana had six players with 90 or more rebounds a year ago; fi ve of them are back on the court.

NEW GUYS COMING INWhile Montana returns the majority of its produc on from a year ago, the team also turned over rough-ly half of its roster, with several newcomers expected to slide in and fi ll roles immediately. The Grizzlies signed six freshmen, in addi on to sophomore JUCO transfer Niko Bevens.

• Admir Besovic – Originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, has spent the past two seasons at the Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, where he averaged 11.2 points and 6.8 rebounds last year as a team captain.

• Niko Bevens – As a freshman at North Idaho College, led the Cardinals to an NWAC Eastern Confer-ence championship by making 50 percent of his three-point a empts.

• Lars Espe – 2016-17 Young Player of the Year in the BLNO, Norway’s premier professional basketball league.

• Timmy Falls – 2016-17 East Bay Athle c League MVP.• Peter Jones – Played in 26 games as a senior at O’Dea High School, averaging 4.8 points per game.• Kelby Kramer – No. 2 prep prospect from the state of Wyoming, being named to USA Today’s All-

USA Wyoming Boys Basketball Team• Karl Nicholas – As the 17th-best prep prospect from the state of Texas, was named the 2016-17

Texas District 22-6A MVP.

DYNAMIC DUO, PART IIMontana boasts one of the top duos in the Big Sky with junior guards Ahmaad Rorie and Michael Ogu-ine. The two combined to score well over one-third of the team’s points a year ago, also ranking No. 1 and 2 for minutes played.

A transfer from Oregon, Rorie made a name for himself during his fi rst season in the league, earning sec-ond-team All-Big Sky honors. He started all 31 contest, and led the Grizzlies in minutes (32.5 per game), points (17.6), assists (97), fi eld goals made (192), three-pointers (63) and free-throw percent-age (.833). His 1.2 assist-to-turnover ra o helped Montana have the 12th-fewest turnovers in Division I in 2016-17.

A er recording the second-most points ever for a Montana freshman, Oguine followed up his debut sea-son with an even be er sophomore campaign. He averaged 11.9 points per game – including 13.3 during conference play – and shot .481 from the fl oor. He ranked second on the team for points, re-bounds (6.0 per game) and steals (37), and earned third-team all-conference honors.

Both players have been named to various publica ons’ preseason all-conference teams, with Rorie being one of six players selected to the offi cial preseason All-Big Sky team voted on by the league’s coaches.

FABULOUS SENIORMontana’s lone senior is Australian Fabijan Krslovic, who entered the season having played in 100 consec-u ve games – star ng 83. Krslovic was Montana’s top rebounder in 2016-17, with more than one-third of his boards coming on the off ensive glass. He also led Montana with 15 steals and 20 blocked shots and was one of just three Big Sky players to rank in the top 15 in the conference for both categories.

Krslovic will admit he’s not the most athle c player on the court, but he’s consistent and is the glue of the team, according to the coaching staff . A er being forced to be more of a center last year because of Montana’s lack of height, he will now transi on into a more natural role as a 6-8 forward.

ADDED HEIGHTA year ago, Fabijan Krslovic (6-8) was the Grizzlies’ tallest player, which forced him to play a diff erent role

as Montana’s only true post player. This year, he is one of fi ve players at 6-8 or taller. It was a conscious eff ort by DeCuire, looking to add more height and depth to his team’s roster.

Admir Besovic (7-0) and Kelby Kramer (6-10) are s ll raw as true freshmen, adjus ng to the quicker style of play in the college game, but both can play a true center posi on. Kramer is more of a shot-blocker and rebounder, while Besovic has the ability to clog the lane and make it tough for opposing off enses to penetrate to the rim.

Montana believes it has a solid low-presence combina on of Krslovic and transfer Jamar Akoh, and also has 6-8 Karl Nicholas, who can be an athle c force on both ends of the court.

MORE RETURNING TALENTIn addi on to Montana’s senior and pair of all-conference guards, the team returns three other players, including Sayeed Pridge and Bobby Moore-head.

As a true freshman, Pridge earned 11 starts and ranked ninth in the Big Sky with a .524 fi eld-goal percentage. He was also the team’s third-best rebounder (3.9 per game) and ranked fourth on the team for points (8.1 per game) and assists (44). In his second collegiate season, Moorehead started 10 games and averaged 2.8 rebounds per game while adding 3.9 points, 10 total steals and nine blocked shots. Sophomore guard Trever Spoja is also back. The Billings na ve saw ac on in eight contests as a redshirt freshman, totaling 10 points on 3-of-7 shoo ng.

STARTING THEM YOUNGMontana is one of 11 NCAA Division I schools na onally to have at least nine newcomer and just one senior.

Kentucky leads the na on with 12 newcomers and zero seniors, while Auburn has a dozen newcomers and one senior. Tennessee, Toledo and Woff ord each have 10 newcomers and one senior, while Montana, Bowling Green, Holy Cross, Kansas State, Louisiana Tech and Oklahoma have nine new players and one expected graduate.

DORSEY TO MISS SEASONThe Grizzlies will be without junior forward Donaven Dorsey this season. Dorsey, who redshirted in 2016-17 a er transferring from the University of Washington, suff ered a pair of hip injuries that require separate surger-ies. The fi rst was performed on Oct. 23. He played in 55 games over two seasons with the Huskies, earning eight starts. He totaled 166 points and 77 rebounds.

PICKED TO FINISH 3RDMontana has high expecta ons for itself, and those who follow Big Sky basketball feel similar. In the preseason polls, Montana was picked to fi nish third by both the coaches and media. The Grizzlies were slo ed to fi nish behind Idaho and Weber State in both polls (complete lis ng on Page 21).

Travis DeCuire said being picked to fi nish in the upper echelon is a sign of respect, but he and his team have their own set of goals, especially a er winning a regular-season championship in 2015 and playing in the confer-ence tournament tle game in both 2015 and 2016.

TOUGH SCHEDULEA year ago, Travis DeCuire believed he compiled the most-challenging schedule in program history, facing an all-Division-I slate. This year, it may

be even tougher. The Grizzlies open the season with 13 non-conference games, fi ve of which are against Power-5 teams. The team’s fi rst road trip is at Pi (ACC) and Penn State (Big Ten) – part of the pres gious Legends Classic. The tournament will con nue the following week in Malibu, Calif., as Montana takes on Oral Roberts and either UC Santa Barbara or host Pepperdine.

The Grizzlies will get their air miles several weeks later, traveling to Georgia State, in addi on to three contests against Pac-12 foes – Stanford, UCLA and Washington. The Bruins are ranked in the AP pre-season top-25 poll.

In Missoula, Montana will host Cal State Northridge, Carroll, UC Irvine, UC Riverside and Whitworth. The 18-game league schedule will begin Dec. 28 and include home-and-home contests against Montana State, North Dako-ta, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, Portland State, Sacramento State and Southern Utah. Montana will also will travel to Eastern Washington and Idaho, and will host Idaho State and Weber State to close the regular season.

The Big Sky Conference tournament will be held in Reno, Nev., for the fi nal year before moving to Boise, Idaho, next spring.

TEAM BONDING IN COSTA RICAThe Grizzlies got a head start to the basketball season, taking a foreign tour to Costa Rica in early Au-gust. The NCAA allows for teams to par cipate in such trips once every four years. The trip was benefi cial in several facets. In addi on to key bonding me – being in a foreign country with your teammates and being able to partake in several ac vi es, including pool me and a zip line through a jungle – and service ini a ves – the team

spent a day at an orphanage, playing sports with the children and reading to them – the team also competed in a pair of scrimmages and was allo ed 10 prac ces in Missoula leading up to the trip.

The tour allowed for Travis DeCuire to introduce concepts to his team – par- cularly the newcomers – much earlier than he usually would, and noted

that the team was ahead of where they normally were early in fall camp.

SECURING THE BALLMontana averaged just 10.8 turnovers per game a year ago, the 12th-fewest in all of NCAA Division I basketball.

PROUD HISTORYTravis DeCuire is well aware of Montana’s proud history, and has experi-enced it fi rsthand. During the 1990s, Montana won the Big Sky Conference and played in the NCAA tournament three mes in a seven-year period, in-cluding DeCuire’s sophomore campaign. The two- me All-Big Sky selec on s ll holds Montana’s record for career assists.

Since Montana’s fi rst conference championship in 1975, no Big Sky team has won more conference les (10) than Montana. Addi onally, the Griz-zlies have won nine tournament tles and have nine runner-up fi nishes – including three championships and three runner-up fi nishes in the past eight sea-sons. In the league’s history, Montana has won more games than any Big Sky school except for Weber State.

DECUIRE REACHES MILESTONEMidway through last season, DeCuire’s third in Missoula, the Grizzlies de-feated Northern Colorado to earn the head coach his 50th victory. He is the second-fastest Griz coach to reach that milestone (84 games). The fastest to 50 was Blaine Taylor, DeCuire’s head coach when he played for the Griz.

TRAVIS DECUIREHead Coach | Fourth Season | Montana, 1994

In his fi rst two seasons as the University of Montana’s 27th men’s head basketball coach, Travis DeCuire accomplished something no other coach in UM history had: he posted two 20-win seasons in his fi rst two seasons. Now entering the fourth season at his alma mater, DeCuire is once again poised to put the Grizzlies back on the road to a 20-win campaign. DeCuire (pronounced: dee-CURE) was formally introduced as the Grizzlies’ head basketball coach in June 2014, at a press conference at UM’s Ad-ams Center a er the ini al announcement from UM’s Director of Athle cs Kent Haslam in May of that year.

In his fi rst season at the helm of a program with a rich history of success, DeCuire’s Griz started the year picked to fi nish eighth in the conference. Led by future European professional Jordan Gregory, UM would go on to defy expecta ons and win the Big Sky regular-season championship and advance to the Na onal Invita onal Tournament (NIT) before fi nishing the season 20-13 (14-4 BSC). At the me, he became only the second coach in UM history to notch 20 victories in his fi rst season at the helm – a feat also accomplished by Blaine Taylor in 1991-92 (27-4). In DeCuire’s second year, he followed up with another 20-win season and another trip to the Big Sky championship game, this me led by future European professional Mar- n Breunig. DeCuire’s Grizzlies would once again advance to the postseason, compe ng

in the fi rst round of the CBI tournament against Nevada, fi nishing with a 21-12 (14-4 BSC) record. Paced by 10 underclassmen and just two seniors who played signifi cant me, the Grizzlies went 16-16 (11-7 BSC) in 2016-17, earning a fi rst-round bye in the Big Sky tour-nament. During the season, DeCuire became the second-fastest UM head coach to reach 50 wins (doing so in 84 contests). He coached a pair of UM sophomores – both returning in 2017-18 – to All-Big Sky Conference recogni on. The 2016-17 season was also the second consecu ve year in which the Grizzlies have posted a team grade-point average above 3.0, earning NABC Team Academic Excel-lence recogni on both seasons. Prior to returning to his alma mater as head coach, DeCuire spent six seasons (2008-09 through 2013-14) on the University of California coaching staff – including the fi nal four as associate head coach. Regarded as one of the top tutors in the game, DeCuire helped former Montana mentor Mike Montgomery – a member of the Na onal Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame – transform Cal into one of the winningest programs in the Pac-12 during his me in Berkeley. The Bears reached the postseason all six years he was on the staff , including the NCAA tournament four mes. The Golden Bears boasted 130 wins in his six seasons – the best six-year stretch in school history – winning the 2010 Pac-10 championship. He coached numerous all-conference selec ons, including conference players of the year Jerome Randle (2010) and Jorge Gu errez (2012). DeCuire he spent fi ve seasons (2003-04 through 2007-08) as an assistant coach at Old Dominion, under former Griz head coach and player Blaine Taylor. There, he helped the Monarchs to a combined record of 117-53. The mark included 94 wins during his fi nal four seasons – the most in school history over a four-year stretch. ODU reached the postseason each of those four seasons and advanced to the NCAA tournament in both 2005 and 2007 – winning a school-record 28 contests in 2005. Addi onally, the Monarchs reached the NIT semifi nals in 2006 and the quarterfi nals of the College Basketball Invita onal in 2008. DeCuire, from Sea le, Wash., also has head coaching experience from s nts at Sammamish High School and Green River Community College in Washing-ton. At GRCC, DeCuire took over a last-place program and guided it to a conference championship and its fi rst 20-win season in more than 20 years, earning league coach-of-the-year honors in 2003 – his second season. At Sammamish High School in Bellevue, DeCuire led his team to a pair of conference tles, a state tournament appearance and three consecu ve trips to the district tournament. As a point guard for Montana from 1992-94 DeCuire was named All-Big Sky Conference as a junior and senior. He set a school record in just three seasons with 435 career assists. He also established UM’s single-season mark with 199 assists as a senior in 1993-94, when he was ranked 12th in the na on, averaging 7.1 assists a game. He was the recipient of the Grizzlies’ Carl Dragstedt Award (MVP) as a junior and senior, and received the John Eaheart Award (Outstanding Defensive Player) following his senior year. As a freshman at Chaminade-Hawaii, he was a starter and team MVP in 1990. He then transferred to Montana and redshirted in 1991. DeCuire a ended Mercer Island High School (Wash.), where he was a three-year starter and all-state, team MVP, and a McDonald’s All-America honorable men on pick as a senior. He has a strong commitment to community service and founded and acted as president of the Fastbreak Basketball Associa on – an organiza on that assists in teaching life lessons and building self-esteem through basketball to more than 500 students in the Sea le-Tacoma area. Addi onally, he has extensive experience in counseling at the Echo Glen Children’s Center in Snoqualmie, Wash., from 1996-98, and with the Ryther Children’s Center in North Sea le, from 1995-97. DeCuire graduated from Montana in 1994 with a degree in business marke ng. He and his wife, Sabrina, have two daughters – Brianna (24) and Tamia (5).
