ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’ll probably lean toward the Bobcats in this one Montana State didn’t have a ton of trouble with Northern Colorado in their tournament matchup on Sunday, with four different players scoring at least 15 points along the way. Montana State has now won six straight games, and they’ve scored 79 or more points in three straight. These teams have split their two meetings so far this year. Montana State won at home 67-52 back on January 14, then Weber State won 73-63 at Dee Events Center on February 9. The Wildcats are on a three-game win streak with 67 or more points scored in each outing, so Montana State likely will have to push the issue on offense in order to keep a cover pace. I think they’ll be able to do it.
