Michigan vs Montana Preview

Montana and Michigan met in the first round of last year’s NCAA Tournament. The Grizzlies took a 10-point lead four minutes into the matchup before the Wolverines roared back for a 61-47 victory.

“I thought we played well against them early last year, we just fell apart in the second half,” Montana senior Bobby Moorehead said in a press release, according to the Great Falls Tribune. “That’s encouraging. I know they have a lot of the same guys back, we have a lot of the same guys back, so I’m excited. I think it will be a good matchup.”

This year, the Grizzlies repeated as the Big Sky regular season champions and the conference tournament champions.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Montana head coach Travis DeCuire said in a press release, per the Great Falls Tribune. “We’re excited to be in the tournament two years in a row now. We talk about setting a precedent. We made it, now it’s just ‘Go play the best basketball you can play on the biggest stage.'”

The Grizzlies have one of the most efficient offenses in the country, ranking eighth out of 353 Division I teams in field goal percentage (49.7), ninth in 2-point field goal percentage (56.8), and 25th in 3-point field goal percentage (38.2).

Moorehead is one of four Montana seniors who played in last year’s clash with Michigan. A fifth, Donaven Dorsey, missed last season after undergoing hip surgery.

Guards Ahmaad Rorie and Michael Oguine, now seniors, scored 15 apiece for the Grizzlies. Michigan guard Charles Matthews, also a senior this year, led all participants with 20 points.

While Montana’s coming in hot, the Wolverines enter the tournament having suffered a third defeat to in-state rivals Michigan State, this time in the finals of the Big Ten Tournament.

“We felt really good about ourselves, really confident,” freshman forward Iggy Brazdeikis said after the 65-60 loss, according to The Michigan Daily. “But yes, (this was) definitely the toughest (loss to Michigan State) especially because it was the championship game as well.”

The Wolverines surrender 58.6 points per game, the second-lowest mark in the nation, and they hold opponents to 39.9 percent shooting, ranking 20th.

The Spartans shot 22-of-55 (40 percent) in the tournament championship, but went 9-of-23 from 3-point range (39.1 percent).

“You waste possessions on offense, defense, you’re probably gonna lose,” Michigan head coach John Beilein said, per The Michigan Daily. “I loved the way we fought hard. We stayed in there, we kept our poise for the most part. But it wasn’t good enough to win.”
