Why the Ohio Bobcats will win

  • Ohio has won 21 of its last 26 games at Convocation Center (OH).

Why the Maine Black Bears will win

  • Ohio has lost eight of its last nine games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of Ohio’s last 14 night games against non-AP-ranked opponents have produced a total of 140+ points.
  • Each of Maine’s last 12 games against non-AP-ranked opponents have produced a total of 138 or fewer points.

Maine vs Ohio Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup really struggling to start the season, as they have just one win combined so far. Ohio has played a pretty tough schedule, but they are shooting just 43% from the field. The Bobcats have allowed at least 90 points in three of their last five games, but should be ok here. Maine is 0-9 to start the season and they have scored 61 points or fewer in four straight. The Black Bears are also not a very good rebounding team, so I like Ohio to cover at home.

David Racey's Pick: Ohio -10.5
