The feature here, of course, is MT’s guard tandem of Varick Lewis and Ben Roseborough…. Let’s see if they can work well together…

 

[kiddman32]

Money Williams of Oakland is committed to Montana…. Nice tidbit I just found out.

[kiddman32]

41-36 Oakland, 1:36 left in the 3rd. I’m sitting right behind the Oakland bench.. I’m enjoying this coach…. He’s observant, encouraging, and even funny at times…. and it seems he runs a tight ship.

Lewis nails a 25-footer…. 61-52.

They need stops, too.

But that’s it…. 65-52 Oakland. These guys are quite good, will win a ton of games!

 

[kiddman32]

Player of the game: Jimon Campbell, the 5’ 5” guy I talked about early. Total glue guy, always fighting hard…. Missed how many he scored, it wasn’t a ton…. but he was a difference maker.
