Cherry-picking Montana

Actually the headline, such as it is, displays as three years out of date as senior Will Cherry has been repping the Big Sky State for a trio of seasons now and will be the 'name' in the Big Sky Conference this coming season.

Coming out of McClymonds High, some thought Cherry would drop the end of the earth when he chose to attend Montana. Opinions have been reconsidered after the Grizzlies earned Big Dance invites in two out of the last three years and are favored to make a third appearance this coming season.

Cherry put up 15.8 points per game in 2011-12 on 45% overall shooting, 37% from long distance. He went to the foul line 169 times, sinking 78%, while nabbing 83 steals and corralling 3.9 rebounds a contest.
