Off-Season Part I, by Alan Stein

The Montrose season is finally over.  We lost our final home game (senior night) by one point.
The final 14 seconds of the game epitomized our entire season.  The game was tied and we needed to inbound the ball at mid-court.  We called a 30 second time-out and drew up our final play, which called for [...]

Thoughts from Bob Huggins, by John Willkom

“I’ve had three or four guys that were top 10 on the Wooden list invited to go to L.A., so I spent some time with Coach there, and we played in the Wooden Classic several times, so I spent some time there. I honestly don’t think about those things,” Huggins said before giving a quick [...]
