Yellowjackets Take on First-Place BYU-Hawaii (February 24, 2003)

BILLINGS, MT – The MSU Billings men's basketball team will try for its 11th-straight win on Tuesday night when the Yellowjackets face BYU-Hawaii in Laie, Hawaii.  BYUH is currently in first place in the PacWest with an 8-2 conference mark.  MSUB is tied for second place with Hawaii-Hilo.

The Yellowjackets and Seasiders will square off Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 p.m. HST, 10:30 p.m. MST.  Both games can be heard on News Radio 970 AM and on the internet at www.msubillings.edu/athletics.

The Seasiders were ranked third in the West Region last week, while the Yellowjackets were tenth.  MSU Billings will likely need to win at least one of the two games at BYUH to have a chance of qualifying for the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row.  BYU-Hawaii will be trying to move to within one game of clinching the PacWest title.
