A New Chapter for Montana State Basketball
Montana State University announced this week that head coach Matt Logie has signed a four‑year contract extension that will keep him at the helm through the 2029‑30 season, a move that underscores the administration’s confidence in the program’s trajectory.
Logie’s tenure has been marked by a deliberate effort to build a championship culture rooted in student‑athlete development and high expectations. Under his guidance the Bobcats have captured multiple All‑Big Sky honors, secured a historic tournament title, and earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament, establishing themselves as a competitive force in the region.
The most recent campaign showcased the program’s growth, with the team finishing 18‑14 overall and 12‑6 in Big Sky play while posting an 11‑2 record at Worthington Arena. The Bobcats climbed to 128th in the NCAA Men’s Basketball NET rankings and swept their in‑state rivals for the first time since the 2022‑23 season, a testament to Logie’s emphasis on home‑court dominance.
Looking ahead, the 2026‑27 roster will feature a returning core of ten players, three transfers and two freshmen, while the coaching staff will see three members receive updated titles. This continuity promises to build on the momentum generated by Logie’s leadership and the program’s recent successes.
