Winning is just a little bit easier when your three-point shooting is a whole 28.6% better than the opposition, a fact Montana proved on Saturday. They came out on top against the Bobcats by a score of 87-77.

Weber State has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won seven contests by 22 points or more this season. They were the clear victor by a 88-65 margin over the Vandals.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Montana hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 79.1 points per game. However, it's not like Weber State struggles in that department as they've been averaging 76.5 points per game.
