What to Know

The Ohio Bobcats and the Buffalo Bulls will face off in a Mid-American clash at 7 p.m. ET Jan. 3 at Alumni Arena. Ohio should still be feeling good after a victory, while Buffalo will be looking to right the ship.

This past Friday, the Bobcats wrapped up 2022 with a 76-59 win over the Chicago State Cougars.

Meanwhile, the oddsmakers predicted a rough matchup for Buffalo this past Friday, and boy were they were right. Things couldn't have gone much worse for them as they lost 89-68 to the Michigan State Spartans. Guard Armoni Foster had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with ten points on 4-for-11 shooting and turning the ball over four times in his 25 minutes on the court.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Ohio is expected to win a tight contest Tuesday. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Ohio is now 8-5 while the Bulls sit at 6-7. The Bobcats are 4-3 after wins this year, and Buffalo is 2-4 after losses.
