The Ohio Bobcats are set to visit Alumni Arena in Buffalo, New York for a MAC clash against the Buffalo Bulls. The Ohio Bobcats come into this matchup with a 9-7 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent home game against the Bowling Green Falcons, 83-74. Leading the way for the Ohio Bobcats was sophomore forward Ben Vander Plas as he recorded 25 points and 8 rebounds. Sophomore guard Jason Preston had a productive outing for the Bobcats as he pitched in 15 points and 5 rebounds.

The Ohio Bobcats had a good shooting game against the Bowling Green Falcons as they connected on 26 of their 56 field goal attempts (46.4%), and they were good from behind the three-point line (41.7%). The Ohio Bobcats lost the turnover battle against the Bowling Green Falcons (10-7), and they were edged out by the Falcons in the rebounding department (37-31).

The Buffalo Bulls come into this matchup with a 10-6 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent road game against the Miami (OH) RedHawks, 83-78. Leading the way for the Buffalo Bulls was junior guard Jayvon Graves as he recorded 25 points and 3 rebounds. Joining Graves in the backcourt was senior guard Davonta Jordan who had a productive outing for the Bulls with 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists.

The Buffalo Bulls had a good shooting game against the Miami (OH) RedHawks as they connected on 30 of their 64 field goal attempts (46.9%), and they were good from behind the three-point line (44.4%). The Buffalo Bulls won the turnover battle against the Miami (OH) RedHawks (13-12), and they edged out the RedHawks in the rebounding department (43-40).

The Buffalo Bulls have been trying to adjust to 1st-year coach Jim Whitesell which has led to an inconsistent start to the season, but they are still one of the top-scoring teams in college basketball. The Bulls are averaging 79.6 PPG, and they have an abundance of guys who can make a difference on any given night as 4 different players are averaging at least 10 PPG. The Ohio Bobcats have struggled on the defensive side of the court through their 3 conference games as they are allowing an average of 76 PPG, and that could cause problems for them on the road. I believe Buffalo has the best player on the court with junior guard Jayvon Graves as he is averaging 17.2 PPG and 5.4 RPG, and he should take advantage of a shaky Ohio defense. Final Score Prediction, Buffalo Bulls win and cover ATS 78-69.
