Billings is hosting for the second year of a 3 year agreement. (After year one they opted for the 3rd year).
Western Montana was the first Frontier team to play and they got a win. 66-54 over Dillard of Louisiana.

Two Bignell girls are playing for Western.
I think Billings is a great place for this tournament, and I wouldn't be surprised if they bid for more NAIA tourneys in the future.

Carroll College women are playing at 8 pm tonight. Thought that might be of interesting because there is no other basketball game of importance at that time tonight.

Five games in six days for the championship pair. That's an endurance test.
