The Montana State Bobcats and the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks will do battle in an early season out-of-conference fixture for both combatants. Tip-off is scheduled for Thursday, December 21st, 2017 at 8:00 PM EST and will be covered locally. The match-up pits the Big Sky Conference against the Summit League. The two parties have met already once this season on the Bobcats’ court where overtime was required to declare the winner. State defeated Omaha by a score of 89-80 in the final tally. Previous to this, Nebraska-Omaha had won the other two meetings in this series in both 2015 and 2016.

Both teams enter on three days’ rest but on contrasting notions against far different opponents. Montana State cruised past Denver at home by a score of 79-65, covering a six-point line whilst doing so. The Mavericks continued to play a rough out-of-conference schedule and took its services to Lawrence, Kansas where they met with the Rock Chalk Jayhawks on their own court. Despite being granted 33.5 points, the Mavs were rolled and lost by a score of 109-64 against KU.

Montana State Bobcats at Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks Prediction

Nebraska-Omaha has a penchant for playing up when they are on their own court. This is a common denominator of many teams in college basketball especially. Unfortunately for the Mavericks, they have only been home on three other occasions this year but they have been successful in gaining the W each team they curated hosting duties. Montana State though they have the better record have struggled mightily when they were delved into unwelcoming environments. This in itself makes Nebraska-Omaha a play be that they are likely in line to pull off an upset.

However, there is more to it than the matter of home court advantage. Nebraska-Omaha as a whole has played a much tougher schedule as it is ranked 38th nationally according to KenPom. In doing so, the Mavs have had some misfortunes as their Luck quotient sits at 224th. On the contrary, Montana State sits 25th overall in the Luck department whilst playing the 166th ranked schedule in terms of strength. Long story short, NEOM has played a tougher schedule and had harder luck. A bit of home cooking will do the soul well here and also makes Montana State a false favorite in this market, as well.
