Radio / TV Roster MONTANA STATE HEAD COACH TRICIA BINFORD (BOISE STATE, 1995) OVERALL RECORD/YEARS: 238-202 (15 YEARS); BIG SKY CONFERENCE RECORD: 143-105 2015-16 BIG SKY CONFERENCE COACH OF THE YEAR

When Tricia Binford took over the Montana State women’s basketball program in the spring of 2005, she inherited a program in search of stability and someone to guide the Bobcats back to the upper echelons of the Big Sky Conference. Now, 15 years later, the former Boise State and WNBA standout is MSU’s longest tenured coach as well as its winningest in his- tory with an unprecedented level of excellence on the court, in the classroom and within the community. Those three hallmarks make Bobcat basketball one of the most respected programs in the country. For the past 12 seasons, Binford has not had a losing season, a stretch that ranks No. 1 in the annals of Bobcat women’s bas- ketball. MSU averaged 2,017 fans during the 2018-19 campaign, ranking second in the Big Sky Conference and among the top 75 in all of NCAA Division I women’s hoops. To say Binford has turned MSU, Worthington Arena and the greater Gallatin Valley into a hot-bed for the sport is an understatement. The Cats have won 42 of its last 48 games inside the , which includes Montana State’s stretch of 31 consecutive home court wins (Dec. 2015 - Jan. 2018) that ranked second only to national power UConn. This past winter, and for the 13th straight season, the Bobcats have not had a losing season in Big Sky action. The Bobcats finished 11-9 overall and earned the No. 5 seed at the Big Sky Tournament. Three years ago, Binford had her most prolific season as a head coach on the Bozeman campus. She guided the Bobcats to a school-record 25-7 record and her 15 Big Sky Conference victories were also the most in 15035school history. In addition, Binford guided MSU to the 2016-17 Big Sky Regular-Season and Tournament titles and its first NCAA Tournament appearance since the 1993 campaign. Individually, she mentored senior Peyton Ferris, who received 2016-17 Preseason Big Sky MVP, Big Sky Regular-Season MVP and Big Sky Tournament MVP accolades. On the court, Binford’s squads have played for the Big Sky title on three occasions and have made 13 straight postseason appearances, including owning the No. 1 seed in 2016 and 2017. In the classroom, the Bobcats have been ranked among the top 12 academic teams in the nation at the NCAA Division I level in five of the last eleven years. And, within the community, the women’s program has consistently given back its time. Not too many programs in the nation can boast a trifecta such as the likes in which Binford and staff have put together at Montana State. BINFORD BY THE YEARS: Binford has notched 238 career victories at Montana State, which ranks first on MSU’s all-time women’s basketball coaching ladder and fourth in Big Sky history. YEAR ALL BSC POSTSEASON In her 14 years at MSU, Binford has produced a whopping 97 Big Sky All-Academic honorees; 31 Big 2019-20 10-6 6-1 Sky Players of the Week; 25 All-Big Sky performers; one Two-Time Academic All-America; five CoSIDA Academic All District VII recipients; two Big Sky MVPs - Jasmine Hommes and Peyton Ferris; two Big Sky 2018-19 16-15 11-9 Big Sky Tourney Defensive Players of the Year; three Big Sky 2017-18 16-15 9-9 Big Sky Tourney Newcomers of the Year; one Big Sky Fresh- 2016-17 25-7 15-3 NCAA 1st Round man of the Year; two Big Sky Top Reserves of the Year; one All-America Honorable Mention 2015-16 21-10 14-4 WNIT in Katie Bussey in 2012; and four MSU/Big 2014-15 15-15 9-9 Big Sky Tourney Sky Female Scholar Athletes of the Year.
