MISSOULA – It’s been a rough week for Montana men’s basketball, suffering two upset losses to drop out of first place in the Big Sky. But the expectations remain high, especially for star point guard Ahmaad Rorie.
The senior from Tacoma makes the Lou Henson mid-season Watch List. The Award goes to the top mid-major player in the country.
Rorie averages nearly 16 points, and three and a half assists per game. The transfer spent his first season at Oregon. But in three seasons he has scored the 11th most points in Montana program history (1,384).
50 players make the Watch List, including two more from the Big Sky, Northern Colorado’s Jordan Davis and Weber State’s Jerrick Harding.
