There's nothing quite like the atmosphere of a Montana high school basketball state tourney! The Girls' State C was awesome last year and this one promises to be bigger and better. PLUS all the out-of-town fans can take in Montana men's basketball between sessions, as the Griz host North Dakota Thursday at 8:00 and Northern Colorado Saturday at 2:00.  We'd love to see thousands of you there!  DB
