Something has to give in Dayton, OH as the Field of 64 becomes clearer. Here is a look ahead at the matchup andMontana guard Brandon Whitney drives against Montana State guard Robert Ford III during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game for the Big Sky men’s tournament championship Wednesday, March 13, 2024, in Boise, Idaho. Montana State is one of the better three-point shooting teams in the country and has the experience to get past the First Four.
It fueled their run to the Big Sky Conference title as a No. 5 seed, shooting 39% from beyond the arc. Robert Ford is their go-to guy. Not only did he lead the Bobcats in scoring during the regular season, but won the Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year and averaged 22.3 points per game during the conference tournament to earn him MVP honors.
Grambling’s defense could be up to the challenge having allowed an average of 69 points per game during the regular season. They’re stingy against the three-point game, too, allowing a 33.9% conversion rate.Whether their offense can keep up with Montana State’s, though, remains to be seen. Their average of 67.6 points per game this season ranked near the very bottom of Division I. It will be up to Kintavious Dozier, who led Grambling in scoring this season and was a first-team All-SWAC member.
