Montana Tech Orediggers

Boom, boom. After dispatching the then #3 ranked Georgetown Tigers a couple of Saturdays ago in their home opener and fresh off a road win over archrival Carroll College, the Montana Tech Orediggers have moved up in the national rankings.

The third and final day of the NAIA Outdoor Track & Field Championships comes to a close with an Oredigger being named All-American.

The NAIA Basketball Tournament in Butte was a special event for fans, who were excited to see NBA legend John Stockton in their midst.

It's not been often as of late that we have been able to say that the Orediggers are looking for redemption against a Frontier Conference opponent. Montana Tech's mens team is 8-1 in league play and are riding a 4-game winning streak. Over the last 4 games they have beaten every opponent by 18 or more. Their last setback? January 20th against the University of Providence,70-59 in Great Falls. Tonight, the Argos come to Butte for a conference doubleheader that starts with the women's game at 5pm and you could say that both teams are looking for a bit of revenge.

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.

Montana Tech's successful month includes six wins out of their last eight games.

The Montana Tech Orediggers will open their 2024 conference season with a bang as the men and women host the Rocky Mountain Battlin' Bears Saturday afternoon at Kelvin Sampson Court.

The 44th Annual NAIA Women's Volleyball National Championship didn't get started the way the Montana Tech planned, but it did finish the way they wanted, with a 3-0 sweep of Valley City State by scores of 25-20, 25-19, 25-23.

While only a pair of games are on the college sports schedule here in Butte, there is a lot of action happening only a couple hours away from town in either direction, especially if you like playoff football.
