MONTANA GRIZZLIES WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Big Sky ConferenceD1-FCSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Nestled in the Mission Valley of western Montana, the University of Montana women's basketball program competes at an 11,064-student institution founded in 1893, bringing NCAA Division I athletics to Missoula through the Big Sky Conference. Head coach Nate Harris leads a 15-player roster through winter competition in Dahlberg Arena, where the Grizzlies posted a 3-7 home record this season. Montana's 7-17 overall record reflects struggles both on campus and the road with identical 4-10 away performance, though the team maintained a 4-6 conference mark that positioned them in competitive Big Sky play.

The Grizzlies are averaging 62.6 points per game while allowing opponents 72.1 points nightly, a 9.5-point deficit that defines their defensive challenges. Harris's squad faces the typical mid-major hurdles of roster depth and travel demands across a geographically sprawling conference, with road contests presenting particular difficulty. Building toward future competitiveness requires addressing scoring efficiency and perimeter consistency while retaining roster continuity through Harris's coaching tenure.
