Meanwhile, Portland State came up short against the Weber State Wildcats on Saturday, falling 65-57.

Montana State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 10-point margin of victory. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past four games.
