The Montana Grizzlies are just two games above .500 on the season, but they’d be just 15-15 if not for a pair of regular-season victories over the Portland State Vikings. The Griz won by four points in Portland on Jan. 29, 64-60, as a 4.5-point underdog, while posting a 74-68 victory as a 1.5-point favorite in Missoula in the most recent meeting on Feb. 28. Montana has won five of the past six meetings, too, while going 4-1-1 against the spread (ATS) in the span, while going 6-2-1 ATS across the past nine in the series. The Griz have the pedigree, but this isn’t their best team.

Portland State is looking to get to the Big Sky Final, and it picked up its 20th victory of the season against Idaho State on Sunday, 85-78 as a 5.5-point favorite. However, the Vikings are just 2-3 SU/ATS in the past five games, including that 6-point loss in Missoula in the penultimate game of the regular season. Let’s back the Grizzlies to get the job done, and keep its hopes alive for another trip to the NCAA Tournament. However, if Montana should qualify, it is likely looking at a First Four game and a 16-seed. But, first things first.
