THE BINFORD FILESCAREER RESUME`:
2005 - Present .............................. Head Coach
.............................Boise State University
TRICIA BINFORD HEAD COACH 13th YEAR
When Tricia Binford took over the Montana State women’s basketball program in the spring of 2005, she inherited a program in search of stability and someone to guide the Bobcats back
to the upper ech-elons of the Big Sky Conference. Now, 13 years later, the former Boise State and WNBA standout is MSU’s longest tenured coach as well as its winningest in history with an unprecedent-
ed level of excellence on the court, in the classroom and within the communi-ty. Those three hallmarks make Bobcat basketball one of the most respected programs in the country. Last season was Binford’s most prolifi c as a head coach on the Bozeman campus. She guided the Bobcats to a school-record 25-7 record and her 15 Big Sky Conference victories were also the most in school history. In addition, Binford guided MSU to the 2016-17 Big Sky Regular-Season and Tournament titles and its fi rst NCAA Tournament appearance since the 1993 campaign. Individually, she mentored senior Peyton Ferris, who received 2016-17 Preseason Big Sky MVP, Big Sky Regular-Season MVP and Big Sky Tournament MVP ac-colades. On the court, Binford’s squads have played for the Big Sky title on four occasions and have made 11 straight postseason appearances, including own-ing the No. 1 seed the past two seasons. In the classroom, the Bobcats have been ranked among the top 12 academic teams in the nation at the NCAA Divi-sion I level in fi ve of the last ten years. And, within the community, the MSU women’s program gave over 300+ hours of service. Not too many programs in the nation can boast a trifecta such as the likes in which Binford and staff have put together at Montana State. Binford has notched 202 career victo-ries at Montana State, which ranks fi rst on MSU’s all-time women’s basketball coaching ladder and fourth in Big Sky history. In her 12 years in the Gallatin Valley, Binford has produced a whopping 83 Big Sky Conference All-Academic hon-orees; 30 Big Sky Conference Players of the Week; 21 All-Big Sky Conference performers; one Two-Time Academic All-America; fi ve CoSIDA Academic All District VII recipients; two Big Sky MVPs - Jasmine Hommes and Peyton Ferris; two Big Sky Conference Defensive Players of the Year; two Big Sky Newcomers of the Year; one Big Sky Conference Freshman of the Year; two Big Sky Top Reserves of the Year; one All-America Honorable Mention in Katie Bussey in 2012; and four MSU/Big Sky Conference Female
Scholar Athletes of the Year. Binford became the 11th Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Montana State on April 13, 2005. Prior to MSU, Binford, served two seasons at Utah State. At USU, Binford earned her coaching wings under head coach Raegan Scott-Pebley. The duo helped reestablish the Aggie program following a 16-year hiatus. With the Aggies, Binford was responsible for recruiting, defense, and guard play. Binford also served as an assistant coach at her alma mater - Boise State University - from 1999-2001. Binford was the 31st overall pick in the 1998 WNBA draft, and played professionally with the Cleveland Rockers from 1999-02, where she participated on the 2001 Eastern Conference Championship team. She played with the Utah Starzz from 1998-99. She also played professionally in Austra-lia for two years, including stints with the NWBL’s Brisbane Blazers, Latrobe Demons and Launceston Tornadoes. Playing in the NWBL in 1997, she set a single-game scoring record with 67 points - which was part of a quadruple-double along with 14 assists, ten steals and ten rebounds. As Tricia Bader, she was a three-time All-Big Sky Conference selection on some of the best teams in Boise State history. She led the Broncos to a national ranking and the NCAA tournament. Binford was also a member of the 1993 West Team at the U.S. Olympic Festival coached by current Connecticut head man Geno Auriemma. For her efforts, she was named the 1996 Idaho NCAA Woman of the Year and was inducted in the Boise State Hall of Fame in 2001. Binford left Boise State with the school’s career assists record and was second in steals. She posted a career 1,171 points — all from the point guard position. Binford prepped at Roaring Fork High School in Carbondale, Colo., where she was the Colorado Player of the Year and a Street and Smith’s High School All-American in 1991. She received her degree in criminal jus-tice from Boise State in 1995. PERSONAL INFO: Born on Feb. 26, 1973 in Decatur, IL...daughter of Jim and Lyn Bader...has a sister Kristin Hall and a brother Jeff...husband Todd graduated from Idaho (‘96)...two children, Justin and Brooklyn.

THAT WAS THE GAME THAT WAS: It took an extra period but the Montana State women’s basketball team kept its home court win streak alive with a 59-54 overtime victory over Stephen F. Austin, Saturday afternoon in front of 1,371 fans in Worthington Arena. MSU’s home win streak improves to 29 games, second only to national power UConn (69). The two teams played even for the fi rst 40-minutes. Montana State (6-4) hit back-to-back three-pointers to open overtime and never relinquished its advantage. Sophomore Oliana Squires struck fi rst draining a deep triple as the shot clock ex-pired. Two minutes later senior Hannah Cau-dill connected on a 3-pointer from the top to push MSU’s margin to six points. Delany Junkermier then converted one-of-two free throws to give the Bobcats a seven-point cushion with 2:22 left. Stephen F. Austin (6-3) was able to whittle the lead to 56-53 with 16-seconds remaining, but MSU was able to secure the win going three-of-four from the line in the fi nal ten-seconds. “We never got into an offensive fl ow based on what Stephen F. Austin was doing to us,” said MSU head coach Tricia Binford. “However, we stepped-up and found a way to get it done with our defense and that’s kind of what this team has been doing. We’ve been grinding it out.” Squires paced MSU on the offensive end with a career-high 20 points and a career-best six three-pointers. It mark the second straight week for Squires hitting a career-high. The product of Colorado Spring, Colo., connected on two triples in the opening 20-minutes and went four-of-seven from long distance when MSU needed it the most. “Oliana shot the ball super well,” Binford said. “And, she hit a big time shot late in the shot clock. She was able to fi nd the gaps and the openings.” Also in double fi gures for MSU were Madeline Smith and Laura Pranger with ten points, apiece. For the game, the Bobcats
shot 28.6 percent from the fi eld, but con-nected on nine 3-pointers and went 14-17 from the line. The MSU defense held the Ladyjacks to 35 percent, including an icy 6.3 percent (1-16) from beyond the 3-point arc. MSU won the battle of the boards owning a 48-42 advantage under the glass. Smith paced the Cats with 12 rebounds to record her third double-double of the season. Se-nior Delany Junkermier also guided Montana State with a career-high 11 rebounds. “I told our kids that a sign of a really good team is when you are struggling on one end of the fl oor you still fi nd ways to get it done,” Binford said. “Stephen F. Austin has such good action they can really spread you out and put you in a tough bind. I thought defen-sively we made them score over us and that is something we’ve been known to do well is just to fi nd ways to be in rebounding position and make them earn the shots they get.”
DISHING THE ROCK: Senior Hannah Caudill matched a career-high 24 points to lift MSU to a victory at Long Beach State on Nov. 12. The product of Spokane, Wash., connected on 6-11 from the fi eld and 6-9 from beyond the 3-point arc. On MSU’s recent Hawaii trip, Caudill averaged 13.7 points per game. She was in double-digit scoring on two occasions with 19 points at Hawaii and 16 points in MSU’s win over Utah State at the Maui Jim Classic. Caudill guided MSU to a win over Wyoming on Nov. 29 with a 19-point effort, which included a four-of-fi ve showing from beyond the arc. In addition, she pulled down three rebounds, dished out three assists and went three-of-four from the line to secure the Bobcat vic-tory. Caudill dished out a season best seven assists at Omaha on Nov. 17. She is current-ly 12th in the Big Sky averaging 3.2 assists per game and her 3.0 three-point makes per contest are fi fth best in the league. Caudill is shooting 45.5 percent from long distance, which is the fourth best mark in the Big Sky. Caudill’s 384 career assists is sixth most in Montana State history.

mark of 443 set by Vicki Heebner-Carle from 1980-84. As a sophomore, Caudill led the Big Sky averaging 5.4 assists per contest.
