Montana State played Univ of Denver this past weekend. I didn't see the game but heard it on streamed audio. For most of the game Denver was safely ahead. But in just the last nine minutes the Bobcats evidently put on a monster full-court press and nearly overcame a 19 point lead. (Final score: a 79-78 win for the DU Pioneers.) In whatever practice time NU's coaching staff will have had by game time in Evanston, I trust they're working on press break. I don't think it's the team's strength so far.

Lacks the normal in depth analysis I have come to expect out of “scouting the opponent” savant such as your self.
If you subscribe to Hungry Hoops Weekly you can get all the depth you need.
MSU shoot a LOT of 3's (29/game, 47th in the nation) but not particularly well (31%, 250th). If they get hot in any given game they can be dangerous.
NU has averaged 18/game and 35%.
