Pilots win @ Montana !

Nik Raivio hits a ridiculous 3 with 7 seconds left to re-take the lead, and hold on.

HUGE WIN ON THE ROAD! Montana is a VERY difficult place to play.

In spite of shooting 8-17 from the freethrow line....

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!! Just listened to the end... I love, love, love Nik Raivio!!!

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tough place to win.

Geat job Pilots!

Woo Hoo!

Stonehouse,
Did you watch it too! I thought the picture was better than stretchnet. Did'nt like those announcers of course.
I was trying to get our audio, their video. lol....
Knutson's at the foul-line gonna make my hair go gray prematurely!

Go Pilots!

Way to break that losing streak. Now thats ONE, sneak up on Washington for another.Great exciting win!!!

thats good we needed a win

Great win for the Pilots! Maybe they can get something going.

Always good to see the pompous jackasses in Montana taken down a peg, good job!

That must have been a nail biter to listen to.

Nice win. :-)

Sounded like a good all-around effort. Watson didn't score, but had 6 assists. Sikma filled up the stat sheet, and although Ito didn't due much stat-wise, sounds like he was a big factor at both ends.

Raivio=clutch. Would it be too much to think we have a chance at UW?

I think we do indeed stand a chance at UW... they are down this year... I would love to beat the Fuskies!!

Thanks to MtZag from the GU board posting this... a link to a TV news station with 2 sets of video highlights of the end of the game, including Nik's long trey and Montana's last attempt (man, they got off a good look!). Nik's 3 was huge!

Thanks for posting those, PilotNut!

To answer MesaPilot's question... no, I actually didn't get the chance to watch the game. My plans were to come home from work and watch it, but then I got sidetracked and ended up going out to dinner. (It was a girl... what was I supposed to do?) But I did get to come home and listen to the last few minutes... I guess I'm just not much of a Pilot fan.

This is definitely an awesome win for the Pilots... Montana is a solid team with a good inside-outside game. If we can beat them on the road in that kind of environment, we can beat some of the WCC teams as well. I too think that we could have a chance against Washington, though they are looking pretty good against Pittsburgh right now.

Anyway, I think I'm going up to Seattle for the game... anybody else?

If you watch the news broadcast, after they cut back to the studio, the final score flashes up as Pilots 57 - Montana 58


Should we tell 'em?
