Montana Grizzly Men’s Basketball Preview

Tonight at 6:00 inside Dahlberg Arena, fans can catch their first glimpse of the 2011-12 University of Montana men's basketball team.

The Grizzlies finished 2nd in the Big Sky Conference a year ago with a 12-4 record in league. Montana lost just one player fto graduation, senior center Brian Qvale, who is now playing overseas in Europe.

Because of that, the Griz return 2 full-time starters and 4 part-time starters, along with 8 total letterwinners.
Here's what the projected starting lineup looks like:

PG Will Cherry 6-1 Jr.
SG Shawn Stockton 6-1 Sr.
SF Kareen Jamar 6-5 So.
PF Art Steward 6-4 Sr.
C Derek Selvig 7-0 Sr.

And here's my best guess at how the bench will play out:

G Jordan Wood 6-3 Sr.
F/C Mathias Ward 6-7 Jr.
F/C Billy Reader 6-9 Fr.
F Eric Hutchison 6-9 So.
F Mike Weisner 6-7 Fr.
G Keron DeShields 6-2 Fr.
G/F Kevin Henderson 6-5 Fr.
G Jordan Gregory 6-2 Fr.
