The Ohio Bobcats are 14-3 in their past 17 MAC road contests. It's a key game because with a win Saturday and losses by Akron, and Eastern Michigan this weekend, Ohio would earn the No. 4 seed and a double-bye in the MAC Tournament. With a loss or an Akron and/or EMU win, Ohio would become either the No. 5 or 6 seed and host a first round game on Monday. Ohio has plenty of offense and balance, #4 in the MAC in scoring and points allowed. A victory against Miami would give Ohio a road sweep of the MAC East (5-0). Miami of Ohio has not had a good season, losing 7 of the last 11 with an offense ranked #305 in the nation in scoring. Ohio has a winning record on the road and the Bobcats are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games. The 'Cats won the first meeting, 82-75, in Athens on Feb. 8 and have won the past five games between the schools, so look for another win by the visitors. Play Ohio on the moneyline.
