• Oregon Ducks 'a step ahead of' Montana State Bobcats in blowout win (bozemandailychronicle.com) — An Ellensburg-raised guard, Jamison Philip, led Montana State with a season-best 14 points despite the Bobcats’ lopsided road loss to Oregon. The Ducks dominated early with hot outside shooting and free throws, while MSU’s freshmen, including Philip, sparked a late 12-1 run to finish nonconference play on a more encouraging note.
