What to Know
The Montana State Bobcats are taking a road trip to face off against the USC Trojans at 8:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at Galen Center. The Bobcats are strutting in with some offensive muscle as they’ve averaged 75.9 points per game this season.
Last Saturday, Montana State was able to grind out a solid win over Kansas City, taking the game 74-62. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Bobcats.
Meanwhile, USC had to suffer through a three-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They blew past Washington 85-61 last Saturday. With the Trojans ahead 51-25 at the half, the match was all but over already.
USC got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Desmond Claude out in front who went 5 for 6 en route to 20 points plus two steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Saint Thomas, who went 9 for 12 en route to 19 points plus five rebounds and two steals.
Even though they won, USC struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only two offensive rebounds. That’s the fewest offensive rebounds they’ve managed all season.
Montana State has been performing well recently as they’ve won…
