Montana State vs. Montana Prediction

I’m on Montana here. I get that this is a rivalry and it has the added spice of the conference title hanging in the balance and the NCAA tournament spot that goes along with it. However, the Grizzlies were clearly the better team in the two meetings in the regular season and they do the little things really well that matter in what could end up being a tight game for the better part of this matchup like hitting their free throws. I think Montana gets it done, completes the trifecta with a win and cover and goes dancing here. Give me Montana.
