Montana State's season has been a rollercoaster, highlighted by their inconsistency against both top and lower-tier opponents. A notable victory came against California, proving they can compete with better-ranked teams, yet losses to squads like Southern Utah and Portland State, paired with struggles on the defensive end, have certainly tarnished their resume. However, their performance in the conference tournament, evidenced by their victory over Montana, signals that they have the ability to peak when it matters most. It's clear that their pathway to the Big Dance relies on capturing the Big Sky tournament crown – anything less would leave them outside looking in, given the stumbles throughout their season.
