Cal Riverside at Montana State

UC Riverside was in a let down spot the last game, looking flat in a loss to USC. But that came right after a big upset of Washington State, 64-63, after the Highlanders trailed by 14 with 7:05 remaining in an emotional comeback. Defensively, the Highlanders are holding opponents to 39.0 percent shooting from the field including 30.8 percent from three-point range. In addition, they are an impressive bounce back team with the Highlanders 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 games following a straight up loss, plus 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game. The opponent, Montana State, is overvalued here as a team that has won three in a row against weak competition (San Jose, California State-Bakersfield and Willamette). They also got whipped at home by Seattle allowing 56% shooting. The Bobcats are 3-7 ATS in their last ten games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5, 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 and 1-4-1 ATS in their last six home games.
