Oh well, I may have to take 19 credits to graduate, but at least I got some mail. Also, in a news story, “Student arrested in front of UC,” that was published on Feb. 9, it was reported that UM student Amanda Rose was a vocal performance major. According to a representative from the department, she is not part of the program. [email protected] montanakaimin Newsroom Phone 406-243-4310 Business Office Phone 406-243-6541

An injury to guard Will Cherry led to two straight losses for the Montana men’s basketball team last week, dropping the Griz out of first place in the Big Sky Conference. Coach Wayne Tinkle hopes to avoid falling further off pace when his team meets Sacramento State at 7 p.m. tonight in Dahlberg Arena, a game Cherry will likely miss. But, just because Montana (8–3 in conference, 16–7) is without its leading scorer and top ball handler doesn’t mean Tinkle expects a repeat of last week’s games when the Griz lost to Weber State and Northern Arizona by 16 and 17 points. A full week of revamped practices has created a better-prepared team. “We’ve had time to put a plan in place that we’ve worked on,” Tinkle said. “We have a plan [the players] can feel confident in.” Freshman Kareem Jamar will step in as a starter for Cherry. The 6-foot-5 guard missed close to a month of games this season with a finger injury. Jamar said while the team will miss Cherry’s presence, he’s excited to try and fill the void. “With him getting hurt, it gives me a chance to step up my game to where it was before I got hurt,” he said. “If teams try to go after our so-called weakness at the guards, we’ll be able to respond.” Sac State (3–8, 6–16) has struggled this season but are winners of three of their last four games, to pull within two games of sixth place in the conference and a Big Sky tournament birth. The Hornets are getting hot just as they meet the Grizzlies, a team that hadn’t lost two contests consecutively since its first and second games of the season against Nevada and Utah. “It’s a crucial game for them,” Tinkle said. “Sac State is a bit of a wounded animal right now that needs to win five of their last six or so games to get in. So we’re going to get their best effort.” While the Hornets may be heating up just in time for the postseason, the team’s recent success has all come at home. On the road, said Sac State coach Brian Katz, they play like a very different team. His squad, owners of a 0–11 road record, is part of a Big Sky-wide trend of losing away from home this season. Not one conference team wins more games than they lose on the road. Mon- tana is the closest at 6–6. The conference as a whole is 20–83 on the road, com- pared to 69–18 at home. “It’s hard to explain,” Katz said of the conference trend and the advantages of being at home. “But you can see it in the standings. Playing on the road is more about just making things harder for the away team. It energizes the home team.” If the Griz sneak past the Hornets tonight, they’ll meet first place Northern Colorado in Missoula on Saturday with only a game separating the teams.
