Montana Grizzly Joe Pridgen Announces He's Back

What a great weekend it was for Griz Men's Basketball fans. The boys in Missoula won two more games bringing their win streak to 8 games. Plus, with a little help from Portland State defeating Northern Colorado, the Grizzlies secured first place all by themselves with four games remaining.

Joe Pridgen announces he's returning to the Griz in 2025

The Joe Jams (TM) are returning to Missoula. In a video posted to social media, Pridgen and the Griz announced he will be returning for a 6th season of collegiate hoops.

Let's go! What a win for the Grizzlies. In his first season with the team, Pridgen has scored 12 points per game and snatched 7 rebounds per contest while shooting a staggering 63 percent from the floor. Oh, and don't forget about all the wild highlights, some of which have featured Pridgen on ESPN's Sportscenter.

We've still got a lot of season left and a lot to be played for, but it's great news for the Griz moving forward.

Next year's roster could look like this:

Money Williams
Malik Moore
Joe Pridgen
Amari Jedkins
Zack Davidson
Jensen Bradtke
And more

Of course, the transfer portal and a potential "going pro" conversation with Money Williams could alter it, but things are looking just fine with the Griz.

You can listen to Pridgen's interview on The Daily Drive With Ace Sauerwein from December 30th below.
