T.M. Selection: Montana

1) Grizzlies have the home court edge here and that is big in a game like this. Cal State Northridge all the way up in Missoula, MT for this one. Montana has the lesser overall record but they are 4-0 at home and the Matadors only loss this season was on the road.

2) Let's bypass the spread and instead take on the ML as the line is around a 1.5 but we can find money line options in the 120 range and this is an excellent value so look for that as it is available.

3) Montana has played the tougher schedule which includes losses at Oregon, Utah State and Tennessee! The Grizzlies are battle-tested and in the comforts of home here. Cal State Northridge began the season with a loss to St Bonaventure and have faced a much easier schedule ever since then as well and the Grizzlies suffering ugly losses to powerful programs helps them out here as they have already taken their lumps this season. Now it is time for the Matadors to take theirs.

T.M. Prediction: 81-71 Montana
