Why Bet On Ohio:
✅ Ohio has played really well of late, having won three straight games. The last of those three wins was the most impressive, as they beat Akron on their home floor. Expect another strong performance from Ohio at home to get to 7-6 in conference play here.
✅ Buffalo has a losing record on the road in conference play so far this season. They are 2-3 on the road in MAC play, with one of their two wins coming against a less than stellar Western Michigan team. They will lose again on the road here at the hands of a solid Ohio squad.

Buffalo Bulls
The Buffalo Bulls go into Tuesday night with a 12-13 record overall and a 6-6 record in conference play. They come into this matchup off of a home loss to Kent State, where they were competitive throughout but just could not make the winning plays down the stretch to come away with the victory. Here, Buffalo will look to get back into the win column and to get back above .500 in MAC play.
For that to happen, the Bulls need to be better on the defensive end of the floor. They are allowing 77.6 points per game on the season, and they face an Ohio team that ranks 67th out of 363 Division I teams in offensive efficiency per Kenpom.
Ohio Bobcats
Ohio U comes into Tuesday night on a three-game winning streak, with the most recent of those wins being one of their most impressive of the season. The Bobcats beat Akron in their last outing, scoring 90 points against one of the best defensive teams in the conference. On Tuesday night, the Bobcats will look for a fourth straight win to propel themselves above the .500 mark in league play.
For Ohio, the key to this game will once again be the play of Dwight Wilson III in the paint. Wilson is averaging 15.9 points and 9.6 rebounds per game on the season, and he will need to be impactful on both ends of the floor for Ohio to win this battle of .500 MAC teams.
