Montana Grizzlies vs. Michigan Wolverines Prediction 03/15/2018

Upsets are staged when these scenarios unfold. Nothing resembles this more than when Kansas came into March Madness years ago as one of the highly-touted #3 seeds while unsuspecting Bucknell came in as a #14. Everyone remembers what happens next. Bucknell would knock off the Jayhawks in a memorable upset. The ingredients in this game are premium for Montana to cover let alone potentially upset the Wolverines. Montana is the more physical team on the boards, they make smarter shots and take advantage more from the free throw line. These narratives make Montana a tough test for Michigan and curate the potential for the Grizzlies to make the most of second chances. Nevertheless, the public holds a bias toward Power Conference Champions, and that is what we see here. The number here is prone to be inflated but either way, there is plenty of backdoor potential even if this contest were to get out of control. There’re plenty of points on the table.
