Ball State at Miami 2/19/19 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

Ball State is sitting in 3rd place in the MAC West, but they are under the five hundred mark in conference play on the year. However, the overall play of the Cardinals has been decent as they are sitting 3 games over the five hundred mark. The last game the Cardinals were able to pick up a 1 point win over Akron which was definitely something the Cardinals needed to have an uplifting game.

So far on the season the Cardinals offense has been playing at a fairly high level with 78.3 points a game being scored. The defense for the Ball State team is not that bad as they are giving up only 72.7points a game. When the Cardinals are passing the ball they do decent with 13.2 assist a game on the year, but have managed to get 38.7 boards a game. The last game out was an embarrassing loss for the heavily favored RedHawks as Western Michigan managed to beat the RedHawks. However, that game was one that actually went to overtime and it was a game that the RedHawks had been able to control for most of the game and that is definitely something the team would like to come out here against Ball State on their home court and do.

The RedHawks offense has been able to score at a clip of 72.6 points a game. The defense has been the real power of the RedHawks with a total of 69.2 points allowed per game. The passing attack of the RedHawks has been missing quite a bit as they have only managed to get 11.6 assist a game, but have ended up pulling own 36.8 boards a game.
