Montana Grizzlies at Creighton Bluejays Free Prediction
The Grizzlies are hoping for a better outcome after their 80-77 loss to the Georgia Southern Eagles in their last contest. One of Georgia Southern’s biggest advantages was their ability to convert at the free throw line. They were 19-23 (82.6 percent), while the Grizzlies were just 10-15 (66.7 percent). Montana’s Michael Oguine had a good outing, putting up 18 points and five rebounds.
In the Bluejays’ last game, they beat the No. 16 Clemson Tigers, 87-82. The Bluejays knocked down 19 of their 25 free throws (76.0 percent) and had an effective field goal percentage of 0.654 (above their season average of 0.610). Ty-Shon Alexander was the top scorer from either team with 36 points on 9-for-16 shooting from the field.
The game should be a matchup of strength against strength as the high-powered offense of Creighton takes on the stingy defense of Montana. Dating back to the 2017-18 season, the Bluejays rank 26th in offensive efficiency, while the Grizzlies are 35th in defensive efficiency. Furthermore, the Grizzlies rank 59th in offensive rebounding percentage (32.9 percent), while the Bluejays rank 57th in defensive rebounding percentage (74.4 percent).
