Montana (11-1) seems to be on the fast track to its first semifinal appearance since 2009 but the Big Sky champs will need to handle business against Furman (10-2) before that can happen. Aided with homefield advantage the Grizzlies are fresh off a beatdown over Delaware last weekend and are one of the hottest teams left standing. UM will again be in its element under the lights and backed by an electric crowd at Washington-Grizzly Stadium meaning that they should be the favorites once again in this primetime showdown.
The Paladins, though, come in with a sense of newfound life.
