BOZEMAN – The MSU Lady Bobcats on Feb. 16 ended a six-game losing streak by outlasting the Weber State Wildcats (0-15, 0-24) by a score of 69-65.
Although the Cats (9-7, 15-10) enjoyed a first place ranking in the Big Sky Conference during the early season, they hadn’t won a game since Jan. 24. They are currently ranked sixth in the conference. Weber State has the dubious distinction of a 43-game losing streak and is one of only four Division I schools in the country that is winless this season.
The game was close until several minutes into the second half when midway through the Lady Cats opened a 62-44 lead. Weber stormed back, and with just over three minutes to play they cut the lead to just two points. MSU Seniors Latisha Adams and Rachel Semansky steadied the team by scoring the last five points of the game, and Semansky had a late breakaway layup to seal the win.
Semansky’s teammates pounded the ball inside to her, and she repeatedly scored from the low post, leading the Cats with a season high 28 points and 11 rebounds. The inside game appears to have returned for the Cats, as they scored 42 of their 69 points from the paint.
With four games remaining in the regular season, the Lady Cats have a break until March 2 when they host first place archrival University of Montana (13-3, 19-6) at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
