MMBOD Dec 02: Virgil Matthews - Montana
December 3, 2005 9:26 am ET by Kyle Whelliston
Okay, so that UC-Irvine Astyle=font-weight:bold HREF=http://www.bbstate.com/schools/STAN>upset over Stanford has been recast in a completely different light after UCI's loss to Stanislaus State last week. That wins and losses are open to constant redefinition is why our game is great. But still, beating Stanford is still mighty impressive - it's Stanford. All that legacy - Jim Pollard, George Yardley, arena namesake Marla Maples.

Meet Mr. Matthews, a guy who'd rather chop a Tree than hug one. In front of 6,929 screaming Griz fans, the 6'3" mini-giant had a career-high 23 points and came within four items of a triple-double in Montana's blowout W. He was also the guy who took UMT from a Big Sky three-seed to the 2005 Big Dance. During their short stay, Matthews & Co. played another Pac-10 school - one-seed Washington - much closer than 8 Pacific would. And now they're back. Timberrr!
