Western Michigan at Ball State

This is a big game for Ball State who is 19-9 on the season, and trailing Toledo by a game in the MAC West standings. They win the tiebreaker as they have bested Toledo twice on the season. The Cardinals were held to 57 points in a 15-point loss at Western Michigan early in the season, but that was during the worst stretch of the season for Ball State who has been on fire of late, winning five straight games, and the offense has been the reason. The Cardinals are averaging over 88 points per game in their last four, topping the 50% shooting mark in three of them. Western Michigan has gone over 80 themselves in two of their last three, but have allowed 50% shooting against them in four of their last eight. Both of these teams are being led by offense late in the season, so look for this one to finish OVER the total.
