This is a play on the MONTANA GRIZZLIES as part of our CBB Thursday Early Three-Game Package. The Big Sky Conference has been horrible throughout the years in the NCAA Tournament, going 1-24 over the last 24 years but we could care less about an outright win here with this number. Montana comes in as one of the hottest teams in the country as it has gone 14-1 straight up and 12-2-1 against the number since January 20th with the only loss coming in overtime. The Grizzlies bring in the momentum and while they were blown out in their only two games against Power 6 teams, those were all the way back in November and both in true road games. Wisconsin went 13-7 in the Big Ten Conference, which was good for a tie for fourth place and made it to the conference championship where it lost to Michigan and the Badgers went just 5-4 down the stretch. They were still rewarded with a No. 3 seed which was in line with the NET Ranking and KenPom Ranking but they got a bad draw in their region having to travel to Denver with very little time to acclimate to the elevation. 10* (775) Montana Grizzlies
Matt’s Pick Montana: +17.5 -115
