What to Know

The Eastern Michigan Eagles will be returning home after a three-game road trip. The Eagles and the Ohio Bobcats will face off in a Mid-American battle at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday at George Gervin GameAbove Center. EMU has some work to do to even out the 2-7 series between these two since February of 2016, but a win here would be a good start.

There's no need to mince words: EMU lost to the Buffalo Bulls on Tuesday, and they lost bad. The score wound up at 102-64.

Meanwhile, Ohio picked up an 81-72 win over the Central Michigan Chippewas on Thursday.

EMU is expected to lose this next one by 9.5. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 4-9 ATS when expected to lose.

Ohio's victory lifted them to 20-4 while Eastern Michigan's loss dropped them down to 8-15. We'll see if Ohio can repeat their recent success or if the Eagles bounce back and reverse their fortune.
