8pm Wisconsin time on ESPN+
It is really hard to know what GB is getting tonight with MSU. They have played a non D1, a WAC school and a rebuilding Pac 12 school. Their record is 2-1 with wins against a non D1 and Cal, the loss was to Seattle.
In the D1 games they were out rebounded both times and didn't shoot that well from deep. They lost to Seattle and Seattle put up a 3 point night that would have fit right in at Valpo last week.
Since rebounding has been a strength for GB I am thinking we are in store for a competitive game.

No clue what to expect from this game. Here are the few things I know, MSU made the ncaa tournament last season, they have a win over a power conference team this season (albeit a bad one), and they’re ranked 242 in kenpom. They had 2200 people at their game against the non d1 team they played this season, so I’d expect even more for this game, meaning it willl be a bit tougher environment than Valpo was. Based on the little info I have, I’d say MSU wins 68-56, just don’t trust our defense to keep us in this one. Like I said though, I really have no idea what to make of this one so a GB win wouldn’t shock me either.

Really need Rich, Preston and Noah to start hitting from deep. It would open up so much more for the offense.

Really ugly final five minutes of the first half, only being down 1 is a win. Need a much better second half if they want to pull out a win.

Turnovers Turnovers Turnovers
Stop those and find a way to slow down Ford. 15 of the 24 points for MSU.

This is the worst basketball game I’ve ever seen in my life….it looks like when my intramural team and our opponent both agreed to play drunk back in the day.

GB wins! Built a nice 2nd half lead, threw it away, went to overtime, didn't make free throws, but still won. They played defense, that will win some games.

I have absolutely no clue how we won that game, and I’m not going to put much deep thought into it. The fact they continued fighting in OT after they gave up a 7 point lead with less than 40 seconds left in regulation showed me something. There’s a ton of negative things I can say about this game but ultimately we just be a solid mid major team on the road. I’m celebrating it.

Well a D1 win is something good for this program. 50% Ft shooting is really bad 20 turnovers is bad. Seems like there was one player who turned the ball over and also missed FT's oh well. They need to clean that up but they appear to be better than last year at least early on. This game should not have been close nor should have gone to OT. Team needs to learn how to close it out - like make FT's and not turn the ball over. Better than the alternative.....

Take the win and use the tape to teach from the mistakes that were made. The players know what they need to work on.

A win against another D1 team on the road in OT is big! Shooting 47% from the field and out rebounding the Bobcats by 13 is going to help win some games. Shooting 50% FTs and 3-16 from 3pt - with 20 turnovers is horrendous, and is something to improve upon. But a win is a win!

Anyone know why Wonders didn't play? It didn't look like he was even there.

When the announcer for the game was thanking the production team doing the ESPN feed as one of the best in the nation, I immediately went to listen to Brian on radio feed, yikes, I suppose this guy will do the game tomorrow. Looks like a tv feed sound blackout tomorrow.

So Montana State beat Cal, then lost to Green Bay? Makes sense, Green Bay has along history of being better than Cal.

Looks like a tv feed sound blackout tomorrow. No tv stream tomorrow, no clue why Montana St would host these games and not provide a stream for all three of them.
