    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 2, 2014

    It’s been quite the start to the 2013-14 basketball season for the Montana State University-Northern Skylights. Picked to finish sixth in the Frontier Conference back in October, the Skylights reeled off 11 straight wins, and finished the non-conference schedule at 11-2.

They had earned top finishes each weekend in action including a second-place finish at the CMR Holiday Classic and a No. 1 finish at the Mining City Duals. If the Ponies utilized the break well, they should c...
