Eastern Washington at Montana

The Montana grizzlies always seem to find their way in the upper half of the standings in the Big Sky Conference. The Grizzlies are off a four year stint of winning 96 games, but managed just 17 two years ago, but came back with 23 last season. The 2015-16 version appears to be more like the 17-13 team from two years ago, and at 11-7 on the season, they have proven to be more vulnerable than usual. Eastern Washington suffered a lot of graduation losses to key players, but they are starting to come together with three wins in their last four games, and the shooting is getting better, eclipsing the 50% mark in 5 of their last eight. The Grizzlies may be in for a letdown as they saw their seven-game winning streak come to a screeching halt at home as a nine-point favorite vs. Idaho last game. Eastern Washington is under-valued and improved, so grab the points and go with Eastern Washington.
