Big Sky Conference Tournament 3.14 Quarterfinals 3.15 Semifinals 3.16 Championship

The Montana women's basketball team will end its 10-day, finals-week break Sunday when it hosts Denver at 2 p.m. at Dahlberg Arena. The Lady Griz have not been in ac on since dropping a 58-56 decision to Wyoming on Dec. 6.

The game is the ninth and final nonconference contest of the season for Montana, which opens Big Sky Conference play next Thursday and Saturday at home against Northern Arizona and Sacramento State.

Coverage: Sunday's game will be aired locally on KVWE 101.5 FM and KGVO 1290 AM in the Missoula area, with Tom Stage and Dick Slater on the broadcast. Fans outside of listening range can catch the audio stream at .

Video streaming will be available at both Big Sky TV (free) and (pay per view). The accompanying audio for both op ons will be the synced local radio broadcast. Links to both video services can be found on the women's basketball schedule page at .

A link to the game's live stats is also available in the same loca on.

Openers: Montana enters its final nonconference game with a record of 5-3. The Lady Griz had a two-game winning streak snapped in their two-point loss to Wyoming in their last ou ng.

Denver is 4-5 but has won four of six since opening the season with three straight losses under first-year coach Kerry Cre-

means.

Most recently: Montana trailed by 10 points against Wyoming early in the second half but took its first lead of the game, 52-51, when senior guard Kenzie De Boer converted a three-point play with 3:55 remaining.

Wyoming regained the lead on its next possession, and the Cowgirls never gave it back. De Boer, whose poten al game-tying shot in the closing seconds was off the mark, led both teams with a career-high 29 points.

Denver got out-rebounded by 22 and turned the ball over 19 mes in its 83-63 home loss to Colorado on Tuesday. Sophomore guard Morgan Van Riper-Rose went 6 for 9 from 3-point range and scored 28 points for the Pioneers.

A new face on the sideline: Former Denver coach Erik Johnson, who led the Pioneers to a four-year record of 72-52, returned to Boston College in April to take over as head coach. He had been an assistant coach for the Eagles for three years before ge ng the Denver job.

Johnson was replaced by Cremeans (krah-MEANS), who was previously an assistant at Auburn for eight seasons. Cremeans played collegiately at Florida and was on Purdue's staff for the Boilermakers' 1999 na onal championship and 2001 na onal runner-up teams.

A budding rival: Montana and Denver will

be mee ng for the fi h straight season since star ng their series in 2008-09. The Lady Griz hold a 3-1 advantage, but Denver won the most recent mee ng, 53-52 last December at Denver.

Three of the teams' first four mee ngs have been decided by five points or fewer.

"They've had some good teams," UM coach Robin Selvig said. "We've had some good ballgames."

Denver notes: The Pioneers are not a one-player team, but Van Riper-Rose has been carrying the team offensively. She is averaging 16.9 points per game and is stroking it from the field (.452), 3-point range (.460) and the free throw line (.895). She is also playing 35.3 minutes per game. No one else on the team is averaging more than 7.2 points per game.

Denver returned three starters from last year's 19-12 team but lost a familiar name in Kaetlyn Murdoch, who graduated last season a er scoring 1,810 career points. She was a three- me first-team All-Sun Belt Conference selec on.

The Pioneers are playing this season in the Western Athle c Conference.

Denver's lone senior this season is point guard Emiko Smith, and she's a good one. She has 584 career assists, the most in Denver history, including a school-record 199 last year. Smith was second-team AllSun Belt as a junior. She has 51 assists this season against just 16 turnovers, a super ra o, and will likely be the best pure point guard Lady Griz fans see at Dahlberg Arena this winter.

Maybe the most well-known player on Denver's roster isn't a player at all but assistant coach Abby Waner. The Highlands Ranch, Colo., na ve was a three- me All-ACC selec on at Duke and spent the last four years as an analyst at ESPN.

Denver's signature win this season was a 73-62 road victory at Oregon. The Pioneers, who lost at home by 18 points to Montana State and on the road by 15 points at Wyoming early in the season, also have a 57-46 home win over Northern Colorado, which was picked second in the Big Sky Conference preseason coaches' poll, ahead of third-place Montana.

The Pioneers are allowing 68.8 points per game this season, and their opponents are shoo ng 44.2 percent. Six of Denver's nine opponents have put up at least 73 points.

miliarity with, but it's a new coach and new system," Selvig said. "They've played a very good schedule and have some impressive wins. They beat Northern Colorado, and a Pac-12 road win (over Oregon) tells you something."

Finals almost in the rearview mirror: Outside of a few finals Friday, the Lady Griz have wrapped up the fall semester. "It was great not to have any games this week, because finals is a busy and stressful me," Selvig said.

Selvig

Head Coach 35th Year (Montana '74)

By the Numbers

32 winning seasons ::: 27 20-win seasons ::: 24 na onal tournament appearances 22 conference championships ::: 19 NCAA tournament appearances

83 all-conference players ::: One Kodak All-American ::: 11 honorable men on All-Americans 123 academic all-conference players ::: 12 conference most valuable players

Montana women's basketball coach Robin Selvig is in his 35th season with the Lady Griz. It is his 40th year as either a player or a coach at his alma mater. Selvig was a fouryear member of the Grizzly basketball team (1970-71 to 1973-74), coached the men's freshman team in 1974-75 and was named UM's women's basketball coach in the summer of 1978, following a three-year s nt coaching high school girls' basketball in Plentywood, Mont.

In his first 34 years, Selvig coached Montana to a record of 774-247 (.758), an average of nearly 23 wins per season. During that me, the Lady Griz had 32 winning and 27 20win seasons, won 22 regular-season conference championships and advanced to 19 NCAA tournaments.

His 27 20-win seasons is a feat surpassed only by former Tennessee coach Pat Summi (36), Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer (32), former Texas coach Jody Conradt (29) and North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell (28) in women's Division I history.

Only Summi and Selvig produced those seasons all at the same school. Only Selvig has done it at his alma mater.

In December 2011 Selvig coached his 1,000th game at Montana. He is ed with Villanova's Harry Perre a as the longest-tenured Division I coaches at the same school.
