Montana Tech men's basketball dominates Carroll College in impressive 90-66 victory.

Some nights you've just got it and tonight, Michael Ure had it. Montana Tech's 6'7 sophomore forward was simply unstoppable, putting up a career-high 35 points, 24 of them from behind the three-point line, as the Orediggers lambasted MSU-Northern 89-54 Thursday night at Kelvin Sampson Court.

If anything, it's going to be an interesting couple of weeks for the Montana Tech men's basketball team. Sure, we are just entering the final weeks of the nonconference schedule, but the next two games in particular are of unique importance. The #7 Orediggers (6-1) will host Concordia University of Edmonton at 5pm this Friday, December 1, and then hit the road for a game the following Friday against the University of Montana Grizzlies

There are always constants when the Orediggers play the Blue Hawks of Dickinson State. You always know it is going to be an intense contest, you always know it is going to be hard fought, and you can always bank on the fact that both teams will be well coached. All of those statements were true Friday night in Dillon, as the Orediggers made off with a 70-56 win over Dickenson, made possible by a strong second half.

In a game that would see a lead of no larger than eight points throughout 40 minutes of regulation, it was missed free-throw opportunities by Montana Tech that would force an overtime period against Carroll College. And it was a shooting clinic from the foul line and beyond that the Orediggers would put on in overtime to seal an 87-78 Frontier Conference victory and the regular season conference title.

Trailing by 14 with 10:15 left in the game, the University of Providence came roaring back behind the shooting of guards Davien Harris-Williams and Eric Millner to force overtime, but the Montana Tech men would escape with the victory, 94-87 Thursday night at Kelvin Sampson court.

The Montana Tech Orediggers got past MSU-Northern in Frontier Conference Mens Basketball Thursday night, but it took 2 overtimes to do it.

There is no reason to miss the 2023 Montana Tech Orediggers. Here are a few reasons why you should get to a game.
