ANALYSIS:
Per this website's calculations, Montana is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. Ranked 134th overall (out of 353) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 18-13. Of the 11 schools in the Big Sky (average ranking 189.0), they're currently ranked as our #3 team in the conference.

Based on their performances this year, Montana will likely find more success on defense than they will on offense. Allowing about 96 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #101 slot in the ratings for defensive efficiency. Montana has extremely pesky defenders that ceaselessly attempt to deny opponents ample opportunity to shoot. The club is ranked 18th in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 76.13 vs. AO. Montana is also a solid rebounding team that will deny the opposition chances to score off of offensive rebounds. They have a rating of 10.62 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 31st in the country). If Montana does exhibit a noticeable weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's tendency to send opponents to the line too much by fouling. The squad has a rating of 30.67 in defensive free throw attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 25th-worst in the country.

Montana doesn't perform as well offensively as they do defensively. The team is ranked 186th in offensive efficiency, scoring about 98 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Montana poses no threat whatsoever to grab rebounds off their own misses. Against AO, the ball-club has a rating of 6.37 in potential points scored off of second chances (last nationally), and they convert just 2.5% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked last) as well. If Montana does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's ability to convert efficiently from the inside. The squad makes 63.5% of their near-proximity field goal attempts vs. AO, which ranks 40th in the country.
