Most Montana fans by now know that the Grizzlies lost a first-round College Basketball Invitational home-court game to the Duquesne Dukes Wednesday.
The Dukes pounced early and withstood two Griz rallies for an 87-76 win which ended Montana's season. Duquesne now moves to a second-round clash with the Oregon Ducks. Though Montana lost, the view here is that was a good experience for a young Montana team that will return every player but senior center Brian Qvale in 2011-12.
Grizzly Journal was courtside and will post analysis and game photos of Montana's -- and its All-Big Sky Conference senior center Qvale -- final game of the 2011 season.
First, we'll run a series of post-game videos where Montana coach Wayne Tinkle, Duquesne coach Ron Everhart and Montana players Qvale and Kareem Jamar discuss the game and their reactions. We couldn't get any quotes from Duquesne players because none appeared at the post-game Q&A session.
The video below (click on the photo panel OR the link below the photo) features Tinkle's game analysis. Next up will be a game analysis featuring Duquesne coach Ron Everhart and Tinkle. Tomorrow we'll run the post-game comments of Qvale and Jamar. Game photos will be posted soon.
