BUSY WEEK: Dickinson State has a busy week ahead of them, as they travel to Pocatello, Idaho to take on NCAA Division I Idaho State on Wednesday before heading to Dillon, Montana for the Montana Western Classic … the Blue Hawks are coming off a solid weekend at the Chick-fil-A Classic hosted by Bellevue University where they knocked off #16 Kansas Wesleyan before falling in a close exhibition contest to NCAA D2 Chadron State … the offense continues to be balanced with five players scoring in double digits in the one countable game thus far … expect more impact minutes from the bench this week as three games in four days against quality opponents is tough on any group
THE SERIES SINCE 2009...
vs ISU: First Meeting
Last: N/A / Streak: First Meeting
Notes: This will be the first meeting between the teams
vs MTU: MTU leads 12-5
Last: 82-71 MTU (11/19/22 in Butte) / Streak: MTU 4
Notes: The teams have met twice a year the last two seasons with Montana Tech winning four close contests … all four games have been within 12 points, but the last Blue Hawk win came in 2020 when DSU won, 82-59, in Dickinson
vs UMW: UMW leads 17-6
Last: 81-71 DSU / Streak: DSU 1
Notes: Montana Western had won three in a row before DSU won 81-71 in Dickinson last season … the teams split the season series after UMW won 61-60 at the Montana Western Classic last November
SCOUTING THE FOES: Idaho State finished last season 11-21 overall and 8-10 in the Big Sky Conference … their only action thus far this season has been an exhibition game against NCAA D2 Simon Fraiser University … the Bengals won that contest 80-55 ... Montana Tech comes into the weekend ranked 6th nationally and are 1-0 on the season after a 116-43 dismantling of Portland Bible to open their year … the Orediggers finished 29-5 last season and advanced all the way to the NAIA Elite Eight where they fell 76-58 to Ottawa-Arizona … Montana Western has played just one contest this season, an exhibition with NCAA D2 Montana State-Billings, losing 78-67 on the road … the Bulldogs are picked to finish 6th in the 6-team Frontier Conference this season after finishing last year 11-18 (6-9 Frontier)
