First game of the season offers good look at guards

The men’s basketball team hosted Montana Tech of the University of Montana at Hofheinz Pavilion Friday in an exhibition game, and head coach Kelvin Sampson used the game see his players in different groups on the court.

Though the men played good ball down the stretch, the story of the night was between the guard positions.

Sampson utilized a rotation between Rob Gray, Jr., Galen Robinson, Jr. and Ronnie Johnson at the point guard position.

Most of the game, two of the three were on the court at the guard positions. Though junior Damyean Dotson is a guard, he played many of his first half minutes at the small forward position.
