About University of Montana Grizzlies

University of Montana athletic teams are nicknamed the Montana Grizzlies, often shortened to Griz or Lady Griz (Lady Griz is only used when referring to the women’s basketball team; all other women’s teams are known as the Griz).

The University has competed in the NCAA’s Big Sky Conference since the conference was formed in 1963. From 1924 to 1950, the University of Montana was a member of the Pacific Coast Conference (precursor to today’s Pac-12).

The University of Montana has an ongoing rivalry with Montana State University, most notably the cross-state football matchups, known as the “Brawl of the Wild.”
