GAME NOTES: Wildcats set for matchup against Fighting Hawks in Big Sky Summit League Challenge

Big Sky Summit League Challenge

Games will take place on Wednesday, December 4 and Saturday, December 7. The majority of programs will play one home game and one road game. Due to an uneven number of members between the two conferences, four Big Sky programs will only participate in one game.
The two leagues will be playing for a combined trophy, taking both men's and women's results into consideration equally from 36 total games. Via tiebreaker, the Summit League claimed the trophy for the first edition of the challenge.
Big Sky Conference home games will be streamed on ESPN+, while Summit League home games will be available on the Summit Leagues Network.
