What to Know

The Ohio Bobcats haven't won a matchup against the Bowling Green Falcons since Feb. 22 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought Tuesday. Ohio and Bowling Green will face off in a Mid-American battle at 7 p.m. ET at Convocation Center. The Bobcats are out to keep their eight-game home win streak alive.

Ohio was able to grind out a solid win over the Kent State Golden Flashes this past Friday, winning 80-72. Ohio got double-digit scores from four players: guard Mark Sears (28), forward Ben Vander Plas (20), forward Ben Roderick (13), and forward Jason Carter (10).

Meanwhile, it was a close one, but this past Saturday Bowling Green sidestepped the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks for an 87-83 victory.

Ohio is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. There could be an interesting gambling play in this one, as they have done quite well against the spread at home this season while the Falcons have struggled against the spread on the road.

Their wins bumped the Bobcats to 11-2 and Bowling Green to 8-6. This past Friday Ohio relied heavily on Mark Sears, who had 28 points along with six rebounds. It will be up to Bowling Green's defense to limit his damage.
