Newsletter College Basketball Prediction From Jason Sharpe
Take #602 Portland State +1 over Montana (10 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 29)
Home-court advantage is huge in sports and especially so in college basketball and in a conference like the Big Sky. Montana has had a very easy start to their conference slate with 5 home contests in their first 7 Big Sky games. They’ve went 5-0 thus far in those games and sit 6-1 in conference play overall. Portland State went 7-3 in their home conference games last season, including beating this Montana squad. They come into this game off a tough loss last game on the road at Idaho State. This is a veteran team who 4 of their top 6 players are seniors and who will fired up for this big conference game. Take Portland State here.
