ANALYSIS: As an average to slightly above-average foe, Montana should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. Carrying a record of 20-13, they are currently rated #151 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #2 team (out of 12) in the Big Sky (average ranking 242.4).
Montana will likely rely on their offense more than anything else to win games. The team is ranked 119th in offensive efficiency and scores more than 102 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Montana will make a concerted effort to fire off quite a few three-pointers each game. The team ranks 39th in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to shoot from long, they have the ability to punish you for it, too. Ranked in the top-100 in three-point shooting percentage, they make approximately 36.3% of their three-point attempts vs. AO. Montana also converts a fair amount of its free throws. Making 72.8% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 65th nationally in free throw percentage. Unfortunately, with a free throw attempt rate of just 26.20 vs. AO, they don't provide themselves a whole lot of opportunities at the foul line. If Montana does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad only has a rating of 11.39 vs. AO in potential points off of second chances, which ranks 21st-worst in college hoops.
Montana doesn't perform as well defensively as they do offensively. The team is ranked 203rd in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Montana does not stand out in a positive manner when they're asked to defend in the paint. The team is ranked 294th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 63.0% of their attempts from close-up.
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.

Montana is typically worse vs. teams that favor a faster tempo. Against foes that have a pace vs. AO greater than 67.06, Montana performs above their norm 20% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 67% of the time.
When facing teams that do a nice job converting inside the paint, Montana often performs worse than normal. Montana is more efficient than usual 38% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive near-proximity field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 55.02%. In their other contests, Montana performs better than the norm 80% of the time.
Montana does better vs. clubs that convert well from outside the arc. When playing squads that have an offensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 34.49%, Montana performs above average 65% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 27% of the time.
