Both teams will face off in a Big Sky battle at 8:00 p.m. ET at Max Worthington Arena. Sacramento State is no doubt hoping to put an end to a ten-game streak of away losses.

Sacramento State lost a heartbreaker to the Grizzlies when they met back in February of 2023, and they left with a heavy heart again on Thursday. The Hornets took a 68-61 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Grizzlies.

Meanwhile, Montana State finally caught a break after four consecutive losses. They came out on top against the Vikings by a score of 72-67 on Thursday. The victory was just what Montana State needed coming off of a 88-69 loss in their prior match.

Saturday's contest is shaping up to be a scrappy match: Sacramento State have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.2 rebounds per game. It's a different story for Montana State, though, as they've been averaging only 30.5 rebounds per game. Given Sacramento State's sizable advantage in that area, the Bobcats will need to find a way to close that gap.

Sacramento State is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. For those looking to play the spread, watch out: Sacramento State is playing as the underdogs on the road, but their 5-9 record against the spread as such isn't exactly encouraging.
