Lady Griz, Broncos rejoin Big Sky rivalry

The Montana women’s basketball team will open play in the WNIT on Wednesday night when it hosts Boise State in a first-round game in Missoula.

The Lady Griz (22-9) and Broncos (21-13), conference rivals from 1978-96 — Get Noisy for Boise, anyone? — will tip off at 7 p.m. inside Dahlberg Arena.

The winner of Wednesday’s game will advance to face North Dakota State (21-11) in the round of 32, with the location of that second-round game still to be determined.
