Idaho vs. Montana Key Player to Watch
- Money Williams, G - Montana Grizzlies
Money Williams is one of the best scorers in the Big Sky, averaging 20.6 points per game, while shooting 49.5% from the field. He's the main reason Montana is playing in tonight's final. He has scored a combined 72 points in their two tournament games. If he plays that well again tonight, the Grizzlies are going to be the Big Sky Champions.
Idaho vs. Montana Prediction and Pick
In a close game between two teams who weren't expected to be in the final, I'm going to back the team that has the best player on the court tonight, Money Williams. He has been on fire throughout the Big Sky Tournament, and now he gets to face an Idaho team that ranks 124th in defensive efficiency.
I'll take the points with Montana tonight.
Pick: Montana +2.5 (-110)
