Looks like Montana was missing their leading scorer. He's been out since late February. Props to them for being able to still win the Big Sky without him, but the challenge of facing Syracuse without your top scorer definitely got inside their heads. This was a team that didn't believe for one second that they could win.
Yeah. They looked really scared. I'm assuming the leading scorer was the big white guy with a beard that was on one of those wheeling carts people have to use when they break their legs.
Other things of note. I had not seen New Mexico State pay before and they have the oafiest big guy ever. #2 was 7-5 but made SHT look like ****ing Kareem.
All in all a fun game. The Cal game was the highlight of the day.
One creepy thing was that the SLU fans were chanting "Rick Majerus, Rick Majerus." Weird, right?
Edit: Montana's coach is named Wayne Tinkle.
