Just a Taste: The Grizzlies are coming off a controversial victory over Idaho State in which three Big Sky officials were suspended following the conference’s review of the game. In the review, an incorrect call in the waning moments was identified. Montana is still fighting for a berth in the six-team Big Sky Tournament. Portland State defeated Montana at home 70-68, and will be looking to gain more momentum as the postseason nears.
