The Bowling Green Falcons have been one of the top teams in the MAC as they bring an overall record of 15-5 into this matchup with a 6-1 mark in conference play, but they have also been excellent at home with a 9-1 record. The Falcons have had little problems scoring the basketball this season as they are averaging 75.7 PPG, and they have a dynamic backcourt with Justin Turner averaging 17.6 PPG, Dylan Frye pitching in 14.5 PPG, and Daeqwon Plowden sitting just below that with 13.5 PPG. Ball State has been excellent on the defensive side of the court, especially in MAC play as they are holding their opponents to an average of 64.2 PPG, but their struggles have been finding enough scoring as they only average 69.2 PPG. The Falcons are the better team in this matchup, and I think their scoring gets them past the Cardinals at home. Final Score Prediction, Bowling Green Falcons win and cover ATS 71-65.
