What to Know
Montana and N. Arizona are an even 5-5 against one another since March of 2019, but not for long. Both teams will face off in a Big Sky battle at 9:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Dahlberg Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they’ll have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W’.
Montana fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against N. Colorado on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell 98-92 to the Bears. Despite running the score up even higher than they did on Saturday (82), Montana still had to take the loss.
Meanwhile, it’s hard to win when your three-point shooting is a whole 23.3% worse than the opposition, a fact N. Arizona found out the hard way on Thursday. They were completely outmatched by the Bobcats on the road and fell 79-50. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for N. Arizona in their matchups with Montana State: they’ve now lost 11 in a row.
The Grizzlies’ defeat ended a four-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 10-6. As for the Lumberjacks, they bumped their record down to 7-9 with that loss, which was their fourth straight on the road.
Saturday’s match is shaping up to be a scrappy matchup: Montana have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.5 rebounds per game. It’s a different story for N. Arizona, though, as they’ve been averaging only 29.7 rebounds per game. Given Montana’s sizeable advantage in that area, N. Arizona will need to find a way to close that gap.
Looking ahead, Montana is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 13.5 points. Those brave souls putting their money on N. Arizona against the spread have faith in an upset since their 6-10 ATS record can’t hold a candle to Montana’s 9-4.

Arizona boy named Disneyland’s one billionth guest on his 8th birthday in memorable ceremony
An Arizona boy received the present of a lifetime while celebrating his birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth when he was honored as the one billionth guest at the California theme park.
Andres Robles, 8, walked through the gates of Disneyland Resort Friday morning ready to celebrate his 8th birthday with his parents when he received the heartfelt surprise, DisneyParksBlog reported.
The birthday boy and his parents Alejandra and Jose attended a ceremony at the Main Street USA train station platform where the beaming 8-year-old unveiled a sign showcasing the updated population of the theme park.
“Population 1,000,000,000,” read the sign.
Fittingly, Mickey and Minnie Mouse were in attendance for the special ceremony, as well as their friends Daisy and Donald Duck.
The birthday celebrations for the youngster continued after the ceremony when he was gifted with a VIP tour guide for the day — which can start at a whopping $3,500 for the luxury service.
The lucky family was treated to a tour of Walt Disney’s private apartment located on park grounds as well as the new Soarin’ Across America attraction commemorating America’s 250th birthday.
“The Robles family visit is just one of the many lifelong memories that have been created here at Disneyland Resort,” the blog wrote.
“From vacations and reunions to birthdays and more, generations of families and friends have come to Disneyland Resort to have fun together.”
Disneyland Resort — which encompasses Disneyland and Disney California Adventure — celebrated its 70th anniversary last year.
Known as the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland “has served as the inspiration behind the creation of more Disney theme parks and experiences across the globe,” according to DisneyParksBlog.
“Today, Disneyland continues its legacy as a worldwide icon and industry leader in entertainment and theme park experiences.”
“The resort continues to invest in creativity, technology and innovation to bring storytelling to new heights, while fulfilling Walt Disney’s vision that ‘Disneyland will never be complete as long as there is imagination left in the world,’” the blog added.
