Montana vs. Gonzaga Key Stats

Gonzaga is the more talented team and plays at a much higher pace. The Bulldogs rank 35th in possessions per game, while the Grizzlies are 341st. If Gonzaga dictates the tempo, which they should be able to do, it will be a long day for MT.

Gonzaga's tempo is a major factor in their offense, scoring the 26th most points per game with 82.3. They're led by forward Drew Timme, one of the best players in the nation. He averages 21.3 points per game while shooting 62.6% from the field. He also averages 8.1 rebounds per game. However, one way to slow him down is to get him to the free-throw line as he only shoots 61.0% from the charity stripe.

The Grizzlies have struggled on the road this season, getting off to a 1-4 start. Contrast that to Gonzaga, who are 5-0 at home this year. None of the Grizzlies' road games have come against an opponent nearly as tough as Gonzaga.

Montana vs. Gonzaga Betting Prediction

The Grizzlies' winning streak should end tonight. Gonzaga is flat-out better and on their home court where they have been dominant for years. The Bulldogs will push the pace, get buckets, and overwhelm the Grizzlies early on their way to an easy victory. Unless they start coasting too early, expect Gonzaga to cover the spread even though it is such a lofty number.

Prediction: Gonzaga -23.5 (-110)
