It’s hard to win when your three-point shooting is a whole 60% worse than the opposition, a fact Montana found out the hard way on Thursday. There’s no need to mince words: the Grizzlies lost to the Wildcats, and the Grizzlies lost bad. The score wound up at 93-63.
Meanwhile, Idaho State’s recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Thursday after their fourth straight loss. They took a 74-66 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Bobcats.

It’s a different story for Idaho State, though, as they’ve been averaging only 33.2 rebounds per game. Given Montana’s sizeable advantage in that area, Idaho State will need to find a way to close that gap.
