Montana Grizzlies vs Kansas St Wildcats Prediction - November 16, 2026

Matchup Overview

Kansas State enters with a 2-1 start and has produced 83.3 points per game on strong perimeter shooting. Montana has been more volatile, with four games logged and a scoring profile that is heavily dependent on hot shooting nights. The Grizzlies do rebound a bit better by raw average, but their shooting efficiency and points allowed numbers are not as strong as Kansas State’s offensive profile. From a ratings standpoint, Kansas State is the stronger team overall. Montana’s recent schedule has included several manageable opponents, yet its scoring defense and offensive consistency remain concerns. Kansas State’s attack should be the more reliable unit in this matchup, especially if the Wildcats control pace and avoid letting Montana turn the game into a high-variance shooting night.

Market Trends

• ●Kansas State has shown a mixed recent cover profile, but the current market is still leaning strongly toward the Wildcats as the clear favorite.
• ●Montana’s recent results have been uneven, and the market is treating the Grizzlies as a clear underdog with limited support.

Prediction Summary

Kansas State is the projected winner in a game that should feature the Wildcats controlling both shot quality and scoring consistency. Montana has enough offensive punch to stay competitive for stretches, but Kansas State’s stronger overall efficiency and home-court edge should create separation. The projected final score is Kansas State 82, Montana 69.
