The basketball game between the University of Montana and Montana Tech has been rescheduled. The men’s basketball game was originally scheduled to be played Friday, December 8th at 7:00 PM but has been pushed back a day to December 9th at 1:00 PM.

While only a pair of games are on the college sports schedule here in Butte, there is a lot of action happening only a couple hours away from town in either direction, especially if you like playoff football.

If anything, it's going to be an interesting couple of weeks for the Montana Tech men's basketball team. Sure, we are just entering the final weeks of the nonconference schedule, but the next two games in particular are of unique importance. The #7 Orediggers (6-1) will host Concordia University of Edmonton at 5pm this Friday, December 1, and then hit the road for a game the following Friday against the University of Montana Grizzlies

Playing without Frontier Conference MVP Caleb Bellach, the Montana Tech Orediggers found solid ground in overtime and were able to fend off Thomas More University of Kentucky 77-72 in the second round of the NAIA National Men's Basketball Tournament Wednesday night at Kelvin Sampson Court.

Basketball fans will have some of the best basketball in our region at our very fingertips this week. Almost all week long.

In a game that would see a lead of no larger than eight points throughout 40 minutes of regulation, it was missed free-throw opportunities by Montana Tech that would force an overtime period against Carroll College. And it was a shooting clinic from the foul line and beyond that the Orediggers would put on in overtime to seal an 87-78 Frontier Conference victory and the regular season conference title.

On Thursday night, the Montana Tech Orediggers beat Montana-Western 86-61 in Frontier Conference Men's Basketball.

Trailing by 14 with 10:15 left in the game, the University of Providence came roaring back behind the shooting of guards Davien Harris-Williams and Eric Millner to force overtime, but the Montana Tech men would escape with the victory, 94-87 Thursday night at Kelvin Sampson court.

There is no reason to miss the 2023 Montana Tech Orediggers. Here are a few reasons why you should get to a game.
