In front of a sold out Hec Ed, the Huskies were able to wear down a very admirable opponent, the Montana State University Bobcats. The Bobcats gave everything they had, and for 27 minutes stayed within striking distance of the Huskies. It was at 8:00 left in the 4th quarter that the Huskies achieved the 22 point spread that was predicted by the experts. At that point in the game things kind of fell apart for the Bobcats and they were unable to continue their high level of play.
In the first quarter the Huskies had difficulty containing the Big Sky MVP Peyton Ferris.
