Key Stats
Montana State Bobcats
Montana State is led by Robert Ford III in scoring. He averages 15.9 points per game and scored 22 points in the Big Sky championship against the Montana Grizzlies. Additionally, Eddie Turner III scored 15 points in that same game. Turner went zero of four from three-point range. He’ll need to knock down a couple more shots from deep if Montana State is going to be Grambling. Finally, Brandon Walker pitched in 14 points in the effort, but he too will need to up his production from what he’s used to. Walker averages 13.0 points per contest.
Grambling Tigers
Grambling has Kintavious Dozier. Dozier averages 13.1 points per game. However, Jourdan Smith is coming off a 20-point performance against Texas Southern. Smith averages 9.7 points per game. Both Grambling Tigers players need to have at least 20 points if they are going to be the Montana State Bobcats. Additionally, contributions from other players would go a long way.

Game Prediction
This game features two sides who have opposite strengths. The Bobcats are stronger on offense. Conversely, the Grambling Tigers are stronger on defense. But this Montana sign needed to win three games in three nights in order to be here. Because they can outscore their opponents and they are in better overall form right now I see the Montana State Bobcats winning and advancing to the field of 64 as they cover the spread against Grambling.
Final Pick
Montana State Bobcats -4
