Looks like Midco will air the game, but it wasn't necessarily picked up by ESPN3. Might be worth checking at game time anyway, if you don't have Midco.

I hadn't had a chance to look at stats, but the Lady Griz have played a lot of home games vs. lower teams. Here's the quick primer from the GoYotes preview article:
The Grizzlies
Montana won its last two games on the road to move to 4-3 on the season. The Grizzlies closed out their last contest, a 63-52 win at Utah Valley, with a 29-9 run.
Montana, like the Coyotes, lost just one player to graduation last season. The Griz were picked in the middle of the pack of the Big Sky Preseason Media and Coaches polls, one of four teams to receive a first-place vote in both polls. This season was meant to be a family affair with both of Montana head coach Shannon Schweyen's daughters on the roster. Unfortunately, freshman Shelby Schweyen tore her ACL for the second time in October.
The Grizzlies have been hammered with injuries this season, only taking eight healthy players to Utah Valley last week.

83-58 is what Massey is predicting. I'll guess that our defense shows up big in this game. I think Montana scores less than 20 at the half and less than 50 for the final, with a handful of Yote bench players getting 4th Q minutes.

26-14 first Q. Korngable doing her best Allison impression with some athletic slashing to the basket.
Frederick scoring in the paint well.
Not super impressed by us letting Griz players get good looks at the rim. We are forcing turnovers, but allowing some pass penetration, I think.

52-32 half. I guess I was wrong about our defense, but I'll take the offense! Hoping to see us shut them down a little more in the second half.

Not super impressed by us letting Griz players get good looks at the rim. We are forcing turnovers, but allowing some pass penetration, I think. I think Korngable is the most improved player on the roster. She's playing with much more confidence and has become a major scoring threat off the bench, especially from beyond the three point line. UM had some good post players and when they went big it was tough to handle. Their post to post passing was exceptional.

Not much to say about any of the last few games as it's pretty hard to extrapolate much from playing Coppin State or an NAIA school that lost by 30 to Dakota Wesleyan ... but one thing that did stand out to me from the tail end of that Montana game is that Hempe's handle is very intriguing at her size. Could be a real player if she keeps developing.

Coach P said last spring that she might be able to provide immediate help this season, but then the injury obviously set her back.

During the Mount Marty game, she had an outlet pass on a fast break that really caught my eye. I think it is at the tail end of the highlights video that was put out after the game. Very aggressive offensively but like Sniper said, the handle showed up in her 3rd game. Per Dawn, she was just cleared to play for the last 3 games because of the knee injury during her senior HS season. I would assume that means she wasn't practicing at full speed for very long either. All of this makes what she has shown so far even that much more impressive.

Hempe has impressed me as well. The hardest thing to recruit is a tall WBB that has great handles and footwork. Hempe looks like she foots the bill so far. I question why she hasn't red-shirted along with Guebert this year? I guess if Dawn keeps recruiting at her current rate might as well get them game time experience.
Korngable has really shown she can be trusted in pressure situations. She has looked good from beyond the arch, but she took it to the rack nicely on a few plays against Montana. She is getting more confidence which is huge. Her defense and awareness have looked good as well.
