Former head of WCW Eric Bischoff often speaks about how he knew that he could not be better than the WWE, so he needed to be different than the WWE. Upsets in the NCAA Tournament are often built on the same formula. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams that pull off upsets often play with a unique style, whether they shoot a high volume of three-pointers or they run a high-tempo offense or they run a full-court press on defense. They do something out of the norm to catch the opponent by surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Montana State Looks to Make Most of NCAA Tournament Bid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With all due respect to Montana State, if you injected some truth serum into Big Sky basketball supporters, they likely would have told you that Eastern Washington would have given the conference its best shot at pulling an upset in the NCAA Tournament (The Eagles just won at Washington State in the first round of the NIT on Tuesday). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eastern Washington was No. 3 in the country in effective field goal percentage and top-40 in three-point volume. If you want to pull off an upset in March, you need to have something like that on your resume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Montana State is a good basketball team, but Kansas State saw 20+ good basketball teams through out the course of the season. The Bobcats play at a slow pace, so they&#8217;re not going to catch Kansas State by surprise there. They are No. 294 in three-point volume, so they&#8217;re not going to light it up from deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: revert; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: revert; font-weight: revert;\">Kansas State vs Montana State Expert Prediction<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Montana State&#8217;s two attempts against upper-tier opponents this season, the Bobcats lost by 30 at Oregon and 21 at Arizona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Power forward Jubrile Belo is a very skilled player for the Bobcats, but getting him in positive matchups in the Big Sky is a lot easier than facing a top-20 defense. This number should be double-digits in our opinion. Lay the points with Kansas State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Kansas State Wildcats -8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NCAA Tournament Special<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for daily picks for ALL NCAA Tournament Games beyond just Kansas State vs Montana State?

Former head of WCW Eric Bischoff often speaks about how he knew that he could not be better than the WWE, so he needed to be different than the WWE. Upsets in the NCAA Tournament are often built on the same formula. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Teams that pull off upsets often play with a unique style, whether they shoot a high volume of three-pointers or they run a high-tempo offense or they run a full-court press on defense. They do something out of the norm to catch the opponent by surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>Montana State Looks to Make Most of NCAA Tournament Bid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>With all due respect to Montana State, if you injected some truth serum into Big Sky basketball supporters, they likely would have told you that Eastern Washington would have given the conference its best shot at pulling an upset in the NCAA Tournament (The Eagles just won at Washington State in the first round of the NIT on Tuesday). <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Eastern Washington was No. 3 in the country in effective field goal percentage and top-40 in three-point volume. If you want to pull off an upset in March, you need to have something like that on your resume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Montana State is a good basketball team, but Kansas State saw 20+ good basketball teams through out the course of the season. The Bobcats play at a slow pace, so they're not going to catch Kansas State by surprise there. They are No. 294 in three-point volume, so they're not going to light it up from deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2><span style=\"color: revert; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: revert; font-weight: revert;\">Kansas State vs Montana State Expert Prediction<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>In Montana State's two attempts against upper-tier opponents this season, the Bobcats lost by 30 at Oregon and 21 at Arizona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Power forward Jubrile Belo is a very skilled player for the Bobcats, but getting him in positive matchups in the Big Sky is a lot easier than facing a top-20 defense. This number should be double-digits in our opinion. Lay the points with Kansas State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Kansas State Wildcats -8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>NCAA Tournament Special<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for daily picks for ALL NCAA Tournament Games beyond just Kansas State vs Montana State?
