Saturday’s MAC basketball schedule includes a battle of bottom-tier teams, as the Central Michigan Chippewas face the Miami (OH) Redhawks.

This game will be played at Millett Hall at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 11, 2023.
Why Bet On Central Michigan:
✅ These teams have opposite strengths, as the Chippewas are better on defense, while the Redhawks are a better offensive team. With both teams struggling as much as they are, we will lean on the defense of the Chippewas to get them through here.
✅ Central Michigan has lost three games in a row, which has certainly impacted the perception of their team entering the weekend. But those three losses came against Kent State, Toledo, and Ball State, three of the top-four teams in the MAC. Against a much worse foe, the Chips will show up as an underdog.

Central Michigan Chippewas
The Central Michigan Chippewas enter this weekend on a three-game losing streak. However, they can be excused for those losses, as they were unable to get the better of the best teams in the MAC, including Kent State and Toledo. Here, they face a much more beatable opponent in the Miami (OH) Redhawks.
Central Michigan is a decent defensive team, but their issues have been on the offensive end of the floor. They average just 66.3 points per game, and have failed to hit 60 points in two straight games. But against a Miami (OH) team that ranks in the bottom-20 in the country in defensive efficiency at Kenpom, the Chippewas could have a breakout game offensively.
Miami (OH) Redhawks
The Miami (OH) Redhawks won their last game, beating Western Michigan to move out of last place in the MAC. The Redhawks managed to win that game by seven points, in a high-scoring 85=78 affair. Here, they will look to outscore another opponent in spite of their suspect defense for a second straight conference win.
Defense has been the issue for Miami (OH) all year, but that could be remedied here against the Chippewas. Central Michigan is one of the worst offensive teams in the MAC, ranking at the bottom of several key statistical categories in the conference. That could help the struggling Redhawks defense to put forth a rare defensive clinic.
