Montana has been hovering around the .500 mark for most of the season, but haven’t been able to get over the proverbial hump in the record column. The Grizzlies are 2-2 in their last four games with split pairs versus both Portland State and Weber State. 

In the 91-82 loss to Weber State on Saturday, Montana’s Josh Vazquez led the team on 17 points with four rebounds and one assist. Cameron Parker added 15 points with seven rebounds, and Kyle Owens had 12 points and four rebounds. 

Over on the Eastern Washington side, they started out their year on a 3-6 clip with wins over College of Idaho, Northern Arizona and Southern Utah. Since then the Eagles have rattled off seven straight wins over Northern Colorado, Sac State, Idaho and Montana State. 

In the 85-69 win over Montana State on Saturday, Eastern Washington’s Tanner Groves posted 16 points and three rebounds. Kim Aiken doubled up on 12 points and 13 rebounds, as did Tyler Robertson on 10 points and 10 rebounds with two assists. 

Eastern Washington is 4-1 ATS in their last five after a straight-up win and 4-1 ATS in their last five overall. The over is 5-0 in the Eagles’ last five overall and 4-1 in their last five Thursday games. 

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 overall and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 versus a team with a winning straight-up record. The over is 28-13 in Montana’s last 41 gams after an ATS loss and 15-6 in their last 21 Thursday games. 

PICK: I’m going to stick with Eastern Washington in this one. The Eagles have ben scoring well for most of the year, with 68 or more points in each of their last 13 games. Montana has a combined 162 points in their last pair, but haven’t been all that consistent on the scoreboards. Should be an interesting matchup but I like the Eagles better on a cover.
