ANALYSIS:
Montana State has a squad that most likely falls somewhere in the bottom half of NCAA Division I teams this year. They are ranked #215 (out of 362) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 17-18. Of the 10 schools in the Big Sky (average ranking 227.4), they're currently ranked as our #5 team in the conference.

Montana State sports an offensive attack that is mediocre at best. Rated at #225 in offensive efficiency, they score about 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Montana State poses no threat whatsoever to grab rebounds off their own misses. Against AO, the ball-club has a rating of 8.83 in potential points scored off of second chances (seventh from the bottom nationally), and they convert just 3.8% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 334th) as well. Montana State also happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked 343rd in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 81.42 vs. AO.

Montana State doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #212 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Montana State allows opponents to make good on a fair number of their overall field goal attempts. The ball-club ranks #278 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO will convert approximately 46.0% of their total attempts from the floor.

Montana State has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked eighth in positive momentum because of it.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location.
Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
Montana State does better vs. clubs that do a nice job converting inside the paint. When playing squads that have an offensive near-proximity field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 58.69%, Montana State performs above average 62% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 18% of the time.
