Scouting Notebook: Nov. 13

Lights Out: Montana State Northern, the Grizzlies’ Wed. opponent, rolls into town with a 6-0 record, which includes an interesting comparison against a common opponent. The Lights -- an NAIA Div. I school and a member of the Frontier Conference -- are averaging 92.3 points per game. Included in the 6 wins is a 93-82 victory over the University of Regina, which beat the University of Greaf Falls 84-59. The Griz beat UGF 77-46 in a pre-season game Oct. 31.

A Winning Record: It’s only one game, but the South Dakota State University Jackrabbits will feature something rare when they host the Griz Saturday: a winning record (1-0). The Jackrabbits won their opener 61-54 over the visiting University of Mary. Despite the win, the Jackrabbits committed 23 turnovers in the game, compared to 21 for U of Mary.

Threes are Wild: Cal State Fullerton University, which plays a home & home double header against the Grizzlies on Nov. 30 (H) and Dec. 20 (A) will give the Griz a stiff three-point shot defensive challenge, if Fullerton’s first two games of the year are any indication. The Titans have launched 53 treys, and have made 23. That’s a success ratio of 43%. Guard Josh Akognon, a transfer from Washington State, leads the Titans with 13-24 treys in two games.
