What to Know
We’ve got another exciting Mid American matchup on schedule as the Ohio Bobcats and the Buffalo Bulls are set to tip at 7:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Alumni Arena. The Bulls are crawling into this matchup hobbled by four consecutive losses, while the Bobcats will bounce in with three consecutive wins.
Ohio is headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week’s over/under low at 149.5, but even that wound up being too high. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Central Michigan on Saturday, sneaking past 57-55. The 57-point effort marked the Bobcats’ lowest-scoring match of the season, but in the end it didn’t matter.
Among those leading the charge was AJ Brown, who posted 14 points along with two steals. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in offensive rebounds (four).
Meanwhile, Buffalo couldn’t handle Miami (Ohio) on Saturday and fell 93-79.
Buffalo’s loss shouldn’t obscure the performances of Ryan Sabol, who went 8 for 11 en route to 25 points plus three steals, and Tyson Dunn, who went 7 for 11 en route to 20 points plus six assists. Sabol had some trouble finding his footing against Temple on Sunday, so this was a step in the right direction.
Buffalo struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only five offensive rebounds. They were dismantled by their opponents in that department as Miami (Ohio) pulled down 14.
Ohio’s victory ended a four-game drought on the road and puts them at 7-6. As for Buffalo, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-8.
Ohio was able to grind out a solid win over Buffalo when the teams last played back in March of 2024, winning 78-66. Will Ohio repeat their success, or does Buffalo have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.
