Nuanez Now

Colter Nuanez kicks off the show with a phone call to SWX reporter DJ Bauer, recapping the championship parade celebrating the Montana State Bobcats’ national title. The conversation shifts to the rivalry basketball matchups, where the Bobcats stayed dominant with two more wins. The highlight came on the women’s side, as Montana State posted the widest margin of victory in program history. The two also dive into Butte High basketball, spotlighting Hudson Ludke and a Bulldogs squad that’s jumped out to an impressive 8–1 start to the season. (7:21)

The conversation then moves to the NHL, breaking down an up-and-down Seattle Kraken team and sizing up potential Stanley Cup contenders as the season reaches its midpoint. (28:29)
