Radio / TV Roster MONTANA STATE HEAD COACH TRICIA BINFORD (BOISE STATE, 1995) - 16th SEASON OVERALL RECORD/YEARS: 266-207 (16 YEARS); BIG SKY CONFERENCE RECORD: 167-107 2015-16, 2019-20 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 pro- gram in search of stability and someone to guide the Bobcats back to the upper echelons of the Big Sky Conference. Now, 16 years later, the former Boise State and WNBA standout is MSU’s longest tenured coach as well as its winningest in history with an unprecedented level of excellence on the court, in the classroom and within the community. Those three hall- marks make Bobcat basketball one of the most respected programs in the country. For the past 13 seasons, Binford has not had a losing season, a stretch that ranks No. 1 in the annals of Bobcat women’s basketball. MSU averaged 2,322 fans during the 2019-20 campaign, ranking second in the Big Sky and among the top 61 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 54 of its last 62 games inside the friendly confines of 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 at the time the streak was snapped. Last winter, and for the 14th straight season, the Bobcats did not have a losing record in Big Sky action. The Bobcats finished Big Sky play with a 19-1 league mark. No other women’s basketball program in Big Sky history has ever won 19 conference games. For its efforts, MSU entered the 2020 Big Sky Conference Tournament as the No. 1 seed. On the court, Binford’s squads have been a part of four championship games, winning the Big Sky Tournament title in 2017, while its 2020 champion- ship game appearance was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. MSU made 14 straight postseason appearances, including owning the No. 1 seed in 2016, 2017 and 2020. 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. Binford has notched 266 career victories at Montana State, which ranks first on MSU’s all-time women’s basketball coaching ladder and fourth in Big Sky history. She has registered 167 victories in Big Sky Conference play. In her 15 years in the Gallatin Valley, Binford has produced a whopping 104 Big Sky Conference BINFORD BY THE YEARS: All-Academic honorees; 32 Big Sky Conference Players of the Week; 28 All-Big Sky Conference perform- ers; one Two-Time Academic All-America; five CoSIDA Academic All District VII recipients; three Big Sky YEAR ALL BSC POSTSEASON MVPs - Fallyn Freije, Peyton Ferris and Jasmine Hommes; two Big Sky Conference Defensive Players of 2020-21 13-5 10-2 the Year; three Big Sky Newcomers of the Year; two Big Sky Conference Freshman of the Year; three 2019-20 25-6 19-1 Big Sky Champs Big Sky Top Reserves of the Year; one All-America Honorable Mention in Katie Bussey in 2012; and five MSU/Big Sky Conference Female Scholar 2018-19 16-15 11-9 Big Sky Tourney Athletes of the Year. 2017-18 16-15 9-9 Big Sky Tourney Binford became the 11th Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Montana State on April 2016-17 25-7 15-3 NCAA 1st Round 13, 2005.
