SALT LAKE CITY — For the first round of the NIT, Montana State assistant coach John Stockton returned to the city where he became a Hall of Famer with the Utah Jazz.
If that was a coincidence for the Stockton family, it was nothing compared to what could have been in the second round.
With a 95-61 loss Friday night at the Huntsman Center, John and his daughter Lindsay, a starting guard for the Bobcats, failed to advance to play a familiar opponent: John Stockton's alma mater Gonzaga, and its freshman guard Laura Stockton, another of John's daughters.
