Wisconsin vs Montana State Prediction 11-7-24 College Basketball Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Wisconsin vs Montana State Prediction for this College Basketball Game on Thursday, November 7th, at the Kohl Center.

Can Montana State Make Another NCAA Tournament?

Montana State has made three straight NCAA tournaments but last year’s was a little harder than the others. Montana State finished five in the conference during the regular season but they made a run during the tournament and ended up advancing. This is a very veteran led team with 12 of the 13 scholarship players being a junior or senior and they believe they have the talent to do it again. 

Tyler Patterson and Brian Goracke are both back from last years squad and both are going to be playmakers for this team. Brandon Walker averaged 13.1 points per Game last year but dealt with conditioning issues. They hope those issues have been figured out this offseason and he can be even more successful this year. 

Why Montana State Will Cover Against Wisconsin

• Montana State has won five of its last six night games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Wisconsin Impressed in Game 1

Wisconsin faced off against the Holy Cruss Crusaders in the first Game and they impressed. At halftime they were actually down 36-35 and they looked to be in some major trouble. In the second half though, Wisconsin scored 50 points, while the defense gave up only 25 points and they ended up cruising to the victory. 

John Tonje was the top player putting up 23 points, five rebounds, and one assist. Basically everyone on the roster ended up making an apperence and this appears to be a pretty deep team. As a team Wisconsin shot 49.2 percent from the field and 35.5 percent from behind the three point line. They also were a perfect 16-16 from the free throw line. The free throw shooting is going to be key, espeically when they get to Big Ten play.

Montana State’s offense is going to get the offense out to a fast start,  and that will be the difference here.
