What to Know

The Bowling Green Falcons have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. Bowling Green and the Ball State Cardinals will face off in a Mid-American battle at 6 p.m. ET Saturday at John E. Worthen Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with Ball State winning the first 88-64 on the road and the Falcons taking the second 75-62.

Bowling Green was fully in charge last week, breezing past the Carlow Celtics 129-50 at home.

Meanwhile, Ball State made easy work of the Eastern Illinois Panthers last Tuesday and carried off a 75-55 win.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Bowling Green is expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are only 1-3 against the spread when favored.

The Falcons are now 7-4 while the Cardinals sit at 5-6. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Bowling Green enters the contest with 84 points per game on average, good for 11th best in college basketball. Less enviably, Ball State is stumbling into the game with the 11th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 77.9 on average.
