Cal Poly’s scoring meets a road test

Cal Poly scores 79.0 points per game, led by Hamad Mousa’s 20.8, but allows 84.8. The Mustangs also average 41.0 rebounds and 17.8 total turnovers. That combination gives them a way to compete on the glass while making ball security a concern against Montana State.

The Mustangs arrive off an 83-74 road win over Idaho, their first victory away from home after losses at Grand Canyon and Arizona. They scored 71 against Grand Canyon and 84 against Arizona, but conceded 99 and 104 in those games. Their 78-62 home win over Cal State San Marcos showed a more comfortable defensive result. The Idaho win offers encouragement that Cal Poly can carry its scoring on the road; the earlier trips show how difficult that becomes when opponents keep piling up points.

Montana State looks to protect its home floor

Montana State has won its only home game and averages 76.0 points while allowing 80.0. Jeremiah Davis leads the Bobcats with 16.0 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. Their 12.0 total turnovers per game stand out beside Cal Poly’s higher figure, making possession control a potential advantage.

The Bobcats’ lone home result was an 83-70 win over Long Beach State, a useful contrast with their two road losses. They scored 74 in an 84-74 defeat at Colorado State, then 71 in an 86-71 loss at BYU. Montana State has found points in each outing, but it has also allowed at least 70 every time. Against a visiting team coming off a road win, the Bobcats will need to build on their home performance rather than assume the change of setting settles their defensive issues.
