Montana vs Michigan 3/15/18 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

The #14 Montana Grizzlies are squaring off against the #3 Michigan Wolverines in the 1st round of the Men's Basketball Championship. Montana and Michigan will be taking the court against one another at the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, KS. Michigan comes into this game having just put in the work in a dominant season within the Big Ten. Montana will take the floor as a huge underdog which is why fans are going to be tuning in, to begin with.

The Michigan Wolverines are taking the floor with a team that spent the season putting up points while completely shutting down their opposition. Michigan scored 75 PPG on offense during the regular season while dishing 15 assists per contest. Michigan's defense came to play this last year as the Wolverines locked down opponents, allowing just 64 PPG. Michigan will be playing with some pressure on their shoulders in this game. The Montana Grizzlies are going to be taking the court with a team that can put points up but they've only done it against inferior competition this past season. Montana is scoring 78 PPG on offense this year while dishing 13 assists per contest. Ahmaad Rorie (17 PPG, 4 APG) led the team on offense and he'll be the focal point of Montana's attack. Montana has to get out and score early on if they want to compete with a team like Michigan.
