Lobos or Grizzlies?

[Benny B]

I know I'm looking ahead (I'm not on the team, I'm allowed to), but does anyone else think that Montana may give UNM some problems?  Montana has a 6-11 Jr C averaging just under 10 ppg & 7 rpg and their top scorer is a 6-3 Sr JUCO transfer averaging about 20 ppg.  They also have a 6-4 Sr sharpshooter from 3-pt land (46%).  Plus, you have to love any team with a guy named Will Cherry.

They have some pretty bad losses and no signature wins, but they only lost by 4 at Washington in November when UW was still ranked (so much for the committee avoiding possible second-round rematches).

UNM is being compared to Marquette in many ways, rightfully so.  As an MU fan this year, even a 6-11 starter with mediocre numbers scares me, but I don't know what kind of experience UNM has against opposing big men.  Nevertheless, I'm giving serious thought to logging the 14-3 upset on this line on my bracket.
