ANALYSIS:
As an average to slightly above-average foe, Montana should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. Carrying a record of 17-14, they are currently rated #159 overall (out of 363) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 10) in the Big Sky (average ranking 204.9).

With a more deliberate, half-court style of play (the 23rd-slowest pace in D1), Montana will likely rely on their offense more than anything else to win games. The team is ranked 101st in offensive efficiency and scores more than 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Montana is deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 79.8% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked fourth nationally in free throw percentage. Unfortunately, with a free throw attempt rate of just 22.78 vs. AO, they don't provide themselves a whole lot of opportunities at the foul line. Montana is also superb at converting jumpers in between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked 23rd nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 42.4% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO. If Montana does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining and converting second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a second-chance conversion percentage of just 3.0% vs. AO, which ranks sixth-worst in the nation.

Unfortunately, Montana is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 280th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 108 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Montana is extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #350 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 6.96 vs. AO. Montana also commits too many fouls, which leads to plentiful free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 28.97 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #319 in the country in that category.

When facing teams that effectively clean the offensive glass, Montana often performs worse than normal. Montana is more efficient than usual 18% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive second-chance potential point rate vs. AO greater than 12.63. In their other contests, Montana performs better than the norm 68% of the time.
