UM Western

The Women’s games this past weekend added some more ‘space’ between the top 3 teams in the conference and the rest of the Frontier.

We stroll into a Monday, with another crazy week of Frontier Conference basketball behind us.

Montana Tech is on the road for a battle with UM Western Saturday. The Bulldogs took the win in round 1, let's prepare for round 2.

Entering Saturday’s contest, the lady Bulldogs are riding an 11-game winning streak, dating back to their Frontier Conference opening loss at Carroll College on December 1st. Included in those 11 straight wins are 3 over current Top 25 teams.

The Lady Saints have won the last 17 meetings between the two. Montana Tech’s last win over Carroll was a 78-64 Frontier tournament contest on February 28, 2017. As of the last coaches poll, Carroll is ranked #11 in the country.

The Frontier Conference landed 9 players total on the AFCA Coaches’ All-America Team, 3 First Team, 1 Second Team, and 5 Honorable Mentions.

If week 1 of the men’s Frontier Conference schedule taught us anything, it is that each and every game is going to be incredibly important, and that is going to be awfully hard to win on the road.

Welcome to another wild weekend in the Frontier Conference. The women’s side of the equation started with 3 teams ranked in the top 30. Carroll College the highest at #9 in the country, Western at #21, and Rocky Mountain College at #29.

Coming into Saturday’s games there were 3 teams that still had a possible shot at a playoff game. College of Idaho, number 13 in the country sitting on top of the conference with 1 loss. Montana Tech at # 20 in the country, and Carroll College #24, both with 2 losses on the year had hope, but they had to win out. Peri...

If there is a game that never needs a hype-man, it’s Tech Western. The first time Montana School of Mines played Montana Normal was Oct 3, 1925, and I KNOW there was no shortage of smack-talk even then.
