Men's Basketball

Former Park and Sheridan College (Wyoming) guard Ladan Ricketts announced his commitment to Montana State on Saturday afternoon.

For the first time under Brian Fish, Montana State entered a season with lofty expectations.

RENO, Nevada — The Montana State men may have lost both previous first round games and 12 of its last 14 regular season contests, but don’t think head coach Brian Fish is using either as motivation today.

Montana State freshman Isaac Bonton has left the men’s basketball program, MSU head coach Brian Fish said Thursday in a school press release.

Montana State plays its first home game in two weeks at 7 tonight against Bethesda.

Montana State (4-2) caps its road trip at 1 p.m. Sunday at Fresno State (3-2). The Bobcats have won three of their last four, including two to clinch the Cancun Challenge Mayan Division title earlier this week.

Montana State (3-2) will face Southeast Missouri State (2-2) at 1 p.m. today in the Mayan division championship at the Cancun Challenge.

Montana State announced junior guard Tyler Hall is “about 50-50” for its Tuesday game against Binghamton in Cancun, Mexico. The Bobcats (2-2) played without Hall in a loss at Louisiana Tech on Saturday after Hall injured his right foot on Wednesday against Montana Western.

Before heading to Cancun, Mexico for a two-game swing next week, Montana State visits Louisiana Tech at 6 p.m. Saturday in the first of four in the Cancun Challenge.
