Central Michigan Chippewas @ Ohio Bobcats (Over) ..

For the most part, this conference has been one of the highest scoring conferences in College Hoops this season. A lot of MAC teams, including these two (more so Ohio,) love to push the pace which makes for more opportunities as well as more points. Well, earlier this season when these two matched up, one of the rare occurrences happened. It was the lowest scoring game by either of these two sides all season long as they combined for only 112 total points. Somewhat surprisingly, this total has gone up compared to that game. Therefore, I'm expecting a much higher scoring game this evening.

Central Michigan comes into this game as the betting underdog. It's got a losing record and hasn't been all that impressive in games played against conference opponents. Having said that, the Chippewas need to start winning games as only eight teams are granted a spot in the MAC Conference Tournament (currently 8th.) CMU averages more than 75 PPG, which should make them competitive in all games. It's also scored 82+ in B2B2B games.

On the other hand, Ohio has been just slightly better than Central Michigan this season. It helps that the Bobcats are averaging 79.7 PPG which is more than four more than today's opponent. The Bobcats are one of the fastest playing teams in the country and that should help them put up plenty of points against a sub-par defense from CMU.

This game will be high scoring and the oddsmakers know it. Expect the line to keep climbing before game-time. Get on the "over" ASAP before it's too late.

Score Prediction: 86-75 Ohio.
