Just a taste: For the Vikings, this is the second game in a three game home stand that stretches over three weeks. Eleven days ago, the Vikings defeated Northern Colorado 85-83 in overtime, and hope to recapture the energy and passion put forth in that win. With a win the Vikings would move to within a half game of first place in the Big Sky standings. Montana, a team that historically vies for the conference title, comes in with a two-game winning streak, with both victories coming against conference foes. The Grizzlies are fresh off of wins over Eastern Washington and Northern Colorado.
