The Vandals will finish a calmer part of conference play with only their third game in 15 days when the team travels to Missoula.
The result should be an intriguing bout between two very different approaches to the game of basketball.
Idaho’s Splash Sisters have made the 3-pointer the team’s identity with plenty of success to back it up, while Montana (8-7, BSC 3-3) has attempted the second fewest threes in the Big Sky at this point in the season. Instead, the Grizzlies rely on controlling the paint and getting higher-percentage shots.
Montana also focuses on slowing down the pace of play and maintaining posses- sion, which is exactly what fans saw in the two teams’ only matchup in the 2017-18 season.
