First Round of NCAA Tournament – Intrust Bank Arena - Wichita, Kansas

9:50 PM EST. The Grizzlies looked ever so bid formidable when they slashed their way into March Madness when they took the Big Sky Conference by storm. In fact, Montana produced highlight reel plays of their own to show how emphatic this outfit is in this tournament. “The Dunk” as it is known was the play that catapulted the Grizzlies past Northern Colorado into the Big Dance and since then you can be assured that their mojo is cooking right now.

Enter Michigan, a stalwart of the Big-10, who punched their ticket to the tournament on the heels of a Conference Championship of their own. On their way, the Maize and Blue took down #2 seed Purdue and arch-rival Michigan State, both of whom can win this main event. Michigan’s path to this event was a resounding one. Those two wins and conference championship absolutely influences the market more than Montana’s championship in a one-bid conference. This is now an overreaction, which is what we’re always on the lookout for. The Wolverines are a household name that you will pay to back here.

The ingredients here are what we like for Montana to cover and perhaps give the Wolverines a major scare. The Grizzlies are the more physical team on the boards, make smarter shots, and capitalize more from the charity stripe. Even if Michigan takes a big lead, there is plenty of backdoor potential. Plenty of points to work with here with this live pooch and we’re scooping them up with glee.
