From 1974 to 2010 Utah schools played for the Old Oquirrh Bucket. The trophy was awarded to the team with the best record against in-state opponents creating an intense rivalry between all of the Utah schools. Utah schools may no longer play for the Old Oquirrh Bucket, but there are still a lot of bragging rights on the line, so don’t miss it when a Utah-based school comes to the Dee Events Center.
Weber State and Montana are two of the most successful programs in the Big Sky, and as a result, a fierce rivalry between the two has developed over the years. The rivalry took off in the late-1970s when the Grizzlies knocked off the Wildcats 77-62 in Missoula, and since then just about every matchup between these two has been a must-see. Make sure to get your tickets when the Wildcats take on the Grizzlies.
