Broncos beaten by refs in Missoula

Final: Montana 74, Boise State 72

Boise State led for long periods, but faded late (blowing an 11 point lead) aided by some truly lopsided foul-calling by the referees. James Webb III fouled out with 3:38 left and the Broncos got a bit sloppy with the ball in the waning moments and the defending Big Sky champ Grizzlies got the win.

Montana has shot 32 free throws. Eight for Boise State.

Don't worry...we finished with 10 free throws!

A positive sign for the Broncos was the play of Anthony Drmic, who didn't look at all rusty coming off a medical redshirt year. Drmic led all scorers with 23. Mikey Thompson, also coming off surgery (although not as major), chipped in 15 pts and looked good.

Your turn

Disappointing finish, but way too early to panic—the Broncos were late bloomers last year as well, and well...we could be Wisconsin
