Ohio vs Texas State Prediction
The Ohio Bobcats are the better team and should be favored, but they continue to get rocked defensively, and it opens the door for opponents to hang around. The Texas State Bobcats certainly have the outside shooting to give Ohio a scare. Also, Texas State is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games, while Ohio is 1-5 ATS on the season. We’ve seen Ohio outright lose a couple of times in the underdog role already. It’s going to be a struggle for the Bobcats all year if they can’t tighten up defensively. Give me the points.
