just adding to the emotional element to this game for Jackson and his family well we're all hoping for a fun night and some competitive basketball that's for sure and we are off and running here night two of the first four so excited to have you with us rambling State 20 and 14 they went 14 and4 in swack League Play Beautiful belch pass as they get it going early Aku in business well watch little slip slide through the basket this is Walker out front shot clock at 10 Walker inside boy he's got a
ll that girth but he can move incredibly Nimble with his feet especially with a aou there just waiting for a potential shot block on that play both of these guys are really going after uhoh watch out sparo there's the steel Walker rumbling to the wreck love it when the big guy takes a chance on the defensive to pound it down low to this guy Brandon Walker and they've been doing just four for four to start he shows a little perimeter defense and finishes it off yeah and keep in mind that foul tha
t was called underneath the basket there was on for a little go Walker what a start for the sophomore go back door Ford with him step for step what a match up Jimmy between those two as Molton misses Ford Defensive Player of the Year in the Big Sky this season and he realizes that with one foul on him he has to stay away nice little drive along the Baseline he was able to play in those four years and finally realizing his dream getting into the dance by pretty Spin and finish it's Jordan Smith o
ut of the swack and Montana state champions of the Big Sky boy pretty leaner Stevenson giving this team a nice little shot in the arm off the bench Montana State Defense in terms of looking they average about eight n to nine steals per game so you have to be careful with that Brandon Walker who had the hot hand for the Bob catches Robert Ford prayer answered they're eight of 18 from the field at missen Montana state is 10 of 19 look at that maneuver Walker and we've seen that play already twice
tonight where he goes through the middle of the lane there's a little flick at The Rim underneath by Smith and then it's put back in contact Montana state with both Ford and Walker on the bench with two and watch the ball f with three guys around them time with the New Jersey Nets one of the icons of the NBA started it all at this University beautiful looking stroke that's Jordan Smith that's a good looking stroke I'm still waitting for him to get a lob going to the basket pretty Bo inside circu
s finish it's moton monana state having trouble running their sets since Ford has been out this is leol lot little hesitation Ford has to be careful if he decides to drive to make sure he doesn't put that arm out and extend nice look here for it Exquisite pass Olstead taking contact SP comes in he gets in a little traffic and then on this side he just Waits For The Defenders underneath they go nice close wasn't it the raki kicks out good ball movement this is Le a lot and that's a three Bo made
that look easy too side of the floor and watch a little hesitation I thought he was going to start to drive it bang big trip here to close the half Tigers need some points moton into the corner Smith Maneuvers one second and he hits big basket for Grambling State see if they get Walker little isolation they run somebody at him here he goes again watch for the turn Walker that big body going glaires and he's going to the free throw line clear opportunity here watch the footwork down here though o
ne turn second turn then plants and goes for it all swag first team was doer yep average 13 points a year for this season nice look to the middle here we go to spin Walker look at the footwork my goodness previously and is now the head coach of Utah State they regularly text Danny sprinkle told me yesterday when we corresponded that he and Matt Loi are in regular communication and he told me that Danny sprinkle who's in Alum is proud to be a bobcat it's great that they interact like that and kee
p that conversation going but go Wy what a three-point stroke so we talked about the shooting watch The Fill you take the ball away from towards the left side of the floor and then you just want to fill spots on the keep challenging the paint there you go m little bit careless poked away and taken back nice play by kofer and kofer takes flight big sequence for the Tigers I think they have just have to continue to try to get to the paint area but hold on and be strong with the ball cuz they know
Montana State continues to swipe at it just like that this is Stevenson Powers up and Conta right here watch this reach you see that reach where he comes in tries to deflect the ball but you're strong with the ball when you get that well done in terms of changing up the defense boy Montana state had two turnovers the first 26 minutes of the game they've got three in the last 215 Cur hard to the cup boy was that ever an aggressive move I think things over right now but watch the strength one guy
on him two guy comes in and the Lefty delivers off the GL little guy and a big guy should be able to get to the basket against him Stevens in the spin left hand finish and he's F to cut it to three one way to neutralize size right here is to bring him out on the floor right so all with the steals that he has watch him now too defensively Here Comes berett Little Euro Step and he puts it down rotation but here you go right in little body contact and finish it off nice move tell him not to be too
eager for nearly to steal by Ford who set a School record for steals second in the country kofer going right at Ford keeping Walker in the middle of the lane about 8 ft away nice fact door cut kofer he is picking them apart watch this little back door cut bang and a nice reap all aspects of the game and giving guys confidence here we go again well look at Stevenson giving Ford a taste of his own medicine not back court there's that slip boy what a pass forward inside it's Olstead and earn their
way to Dayton better defense here by Montana State it's a three Jordan Smith they just sealed the middle of the floor just that not allowing any penetration which Grambling State has had great success this half with homstead out to Ford 15 to shoot Ford with the leaner and hits and watch Ford create body contact and gets pushed from behind it's 40- 26 right now so that's what they've dominated with only three three-point shots taken watch out Moten back door it's Johnson boy that was a thing of
beauty that came off the timeout after the free throw Montana State this is goak he's going to fire a deep shot every possession magnified from this stage one team from the outside r Rob Bert Ford making plays with the money on the table this is trichel Molton out of ker who's been one of the Stars turns the corner goes glass and he lays it up and in how good has he been in the second half ramling State looking for some late game magic this is molten 1 second he'll fire no good and we are headed
to overtime here in Dayton at first the shorter guy hit it second should have been on Tanis State basketball Here Comes Molton trying to attone and he hits boy that's a tough floater rambling state will probably use a timeout somewhere in the last three minutes so Turner defended by m drops a beautiful dime it's omstead from nearly the steal ker kicks out this is Smith slithers in well played by gaki underneath kulur five to shoot he Fades fires and sticks it you know spear I can do playby play
with him shooting the ball cuz everything's going in well that's that's a luxury you have isn't it man three-point Grambling State lead forward for the tie mol against one of the Premier defenders in the country off balance Miss Smith on a stick back guys are headed towards the basket and look who Smith beats his two they had gotten closed so many times regular season crowns in the swack but they had never made it to the big dance and here they are seconds away from Indie as Ford buries a three
and it is over here in Dayton the Grambling State tigers dancing for the first time ever have punched their ticket to Indianapolis and a date with Purdue
