Trends
Montana State is 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 road games and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 13-6 in their last 19 games overall. Eastern Washington is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall while the over is 6-2 in their last 8 home games.
Pick
This is a tricky game because these are the two top teams in the Big Sky, but there’s pretty much nothing but pride to play for here as both teams are locked into their seeds in the conference tournament. That being said, I’m leaning towards Eastern Washington because I don’t think the Eagles want to go into the conference tournament on a two-game losing streak and it is senior day for the Eagles here. Give me the Eagles laying the bucket here.
