FREE PLAY OVER 144.5 Eastern Washington @ Montana 9PM ET

Our computer picked this anomaly up immediately as this Total opened much lower than it should have on this game at 141.5. The number has since corrected more toward the line it should be, but still hasn’t moved up enough according to our calculations. Eastern Washington is coming off a game Thursday against Montana State who has eerily similar conference numbers compared to Montana in terms of pace, offensive and defensive efficiencies. We make the comparison because EWU and Montana State combined for just 134 total points Thursday night, which can be attributed to horrible shooting by both teams. The total on that game was 147.5 which is where this number should be. These same two teams squared off in early January at Eastern Washington and the two teams combined for 168 total points. Montana has some solid defensive numbers except when it comes to defending the 3-point line which is where EWU’s offense excels. The Eagles make nearly 35% of their 3-point attempts which is 135th in the nation. The Griz are going to get their fair share of points too against the Eagles defense that gives up 73.7PPG which is 297th. The Big Sky is known to play fast, ranking 6th in the nation in tempo. This game has shootout written all over it.
