Bowling Green vs Ohio Prediction

I’ll stay with Bowling Green, but this one could get interesting. The Falcons shot a cool 50.9 percent from the field in their latest win over Chicago State, posting 37 rebounds, 21 team assists and a 42-22 edge on points in the paint as well. The victory continued Bowling Green’s nice run over the last six games (a 5-1 stretch). They’ve scored 71 or more points in all six of those outings—as well as every game so far this year.

As for Ohio, they didn’t have much issue with Ohio Wesleyan outside of a spotty 4-of-16 (25 percent) success rate from 3-point range and 13-of-20 (65 percent) from the line. The Bobcats posted 39 rebounds, 28 team assists and a 62-22 advantage in the paint to make up for it. Ohio is on a nice four-game win streak right now, and they’ve scored 79 or more points in each of those—with 88 or more in each of the last three. If the Bobcats can keep that run going, we’ll have a very entertaining matchup on our hands Saturday.
