UNC Bears Face Montana State in Key Matchup on Martin Luther King Jr. Day

The UNC Bears men’s basketball team will host the Montana State Bobcats on January 15, 2024, as part of the Big Sky Conference. The game is set to tip off at 18:00 at the Bank of Colorado Arena in Greeley, Colorado. This matchup coincides with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday recognizing the civil rights leader’s contribution to social justice.

This game marks a significant occasion for the Bears as they promote youth engagement, encouraging young fans to attend and experience college basketball. It is also the third game in a five-day stretch for UNC, which recently returned from a two-game road trip. The Bears played against Portland State on January 15 and faced Sacramento State shortly after.

In their previous encounter this season, the UNC Bears fell to Montana State with a score of 89-75 during the Big Sky opener on January 1 in Bozeman, Montana. The Bears will be looking to avenge that loss on their home court. Tickets for the game against Montana State are available online through the university’s ticketing website.

The women’s team from UNC will also face Montana State on the same day in Bozeman, following their games at home on Thursday and Saturday. As both teams continue their conference schedules, the outcomes of these games will be crucial for their standings as the season progresses.
