Morehead State vs Ohio Prediction 

Morehead State comes into this matchup after alternating wins and losses over their last five games and they have allowed at least 78 points in two of their last three. The Eagles are only shooting 42.1% from the field and scoring 66.5 points per game this year. Ohio has won two of their last three games and they have also struggled on defense, as they have allowed at least 73 points in seven of their eight games so far. I do think Ohio gets the win, but I don’t like them to cover the number with how they are playing defense. Take Morehead State and the points.
