The Grizzlies will be looking for a similar result after beating the Georgia State Panthers in their last game, 81-74. One of Montana’s biggest strengths was getting to the charity stripe. They made 43 trips to the line, 19 more than Georgia State. Michael Oguine was a key piece for Montana with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

The last time the Wildcats took the court, they won big over the Houston Baptist Huskies, 90-60. The Wildcats had a much better free throw rate (0.491 vs. 0.159) and had a much better effective field goal percentage (0.544 vs. 0.355). Brandon Randolph was the game’s top scorer with 25 points on 8-for-12 shooting from the field.
