Does it count as a conference game though? Does our game? I know we've played big sky teams early in the season before that didn't count towards conference standings.

Griz vs SUU and Cats vs UTU are conference games

Griz vs Utah Tech in 2 weeks is a non-conference game

Only Big Sky team who didn't play a conference game this week was Idaho State who played VMI

Utah Tech vs Montana was scheduled as an OOC when UTU was in the UAC.

Same with Utah Tech vs Northern Arizona and Southern Utah vs Weber State
