Game Overview
The Montana Grizzlies visit the Stanford Cardinal at Maples Pavilion on November 8, 2025. Montana enters the game with a strong start to the season at 2-0, including dominant wins against non-D1 opponents, while Stanford is 1-0. Montana seeks to maintain momentum against a highly favored Stanford team in front of a home crowd.
Key Factors to Consider
- Montana has started 2-0 with significant margins over non-D1 teams, showcasing offensive strength but limited top-level competition exposure. Stanford, ranked top 5 in field goal percentage and solid defensively, is favored heavily and coming off a strong 1-0 start with a more balanced schedule.
- Recent direct matchups are limited, with no recent recorded games between Stanford and Montana this season. The matchup pits a Mountain West tournament-winning Montana squad against a Pac-12 Stanford team with higher-tier competition experience.
- No reported injuries for either team prior to the game.
- The game is at Stanford's home venue Maples Pavilion, conferring home-court advantage to Stanford. Montana is on its first road trip of the season, which may impact their performance, though they are motivated to extend their strong start.
- Montana is motivated to prove itself against a strong Pac-12 opponent and maintain its best start in seven years. Stanford aims to affirm their status as a top-tier team and dominate at home, leveraging experience and crowd support.
