Womens Basketball

Lady Griz lost to Gonzaga by 13 in Missoula tonight. UM has 3 of 16 from Montana on roster. MSU has 4 of 15 from Montana on roster. The only LG from Montana to play tonight was Dani Bartz from Helena. She had 18. Started the last half of last season. The days of a lot of women from Montana playing Montana seem to be pretty much over.

The new half-hour movie, Native Ball, on former LG Malia Kipp is very good. It's now released and showing on PBS in over 40 states. I think UM, and Selvig, have had 10 or so Native American women play, starting with Kipp. Former LG point guard Megan Harrington did the movie. She also did The House that Rob Built, which is also very good.

Harrington was a teammate of Kipp.

"I had no idea what she was going through," explained Harrington. "I had no idea what she was facing, the hurdles that she was, you know, jumping over. So even for me experiencing the film was like how special she was that she persevered with such grit."

Harrington explained Kipp faced many challenges and wanted to quit basketball at times, but she continued for other Native American high school athletes.

"She knew that she represented her tribe... [she said] 'I need to be able to do this. If I don't do this other might not think that they can."

"To set an example, to prove that something can be done and the power of that. In whatever it is in life. There's so many wonderful stories, and this story is one of those that I hope it opens people's eyes to the possibilities that lie within."

Are you not aware that egriz exists to post about gris sports? This is Bobcat Nation. Why are you posting about gris women's bball here? Wrong forum.

This is the non-Bobcat sports forum. Discussing other schools is what this is meant for.

Makes sense.

Fair enough. But the the title of the post is Women's Basketball and it's actually a post about the lady gris. This poster seems intent on promoting gris everything on this forum and it's getting a bit ridiculous IMO. I know I don't have to read anything he posts but when generally titled the assumption is there's an actual topic for discussion, but no, just gris promo again.

The post is more Native American and Montana women centric. I followed the Cat men and women closely last season, due to the two Native American players. I bet I knew more about the Cat men than most of you. Do you know how much NIL Battle got at West Virginia? Do to know who carried the Big Sky trophy back to Bozeman on his lap? Also, Andy Hill is one of my best friends. I didn’t attend any Griz hoops last season.

Are you trying to bait us into claiming that you are overly obsessed with student athletes? I don't know any of those things and I don't really care to know them. I bet you follow a bunch of student athletes on twitter as well. I don't and won't do that. Take an inventory and target those areas that might be unhealthy. Your kind of student involvement should not be encouraged.

I'm not on any social media, except a couple athletic message boards. Certainly no twitter. I see nothing wrong with a Native American following Native American players. My student involvement? Not sure what you are talking about. Don't think watching games and talking to coaches is "student involvement". I do have 5 kids, tho.
