Two MAC teams will face off against each other on Thursday as the Eastern Michigan Eagles travel to the Convocation Center to take on the Ohio Bobcats. Eastern Michigan enters this game with a 4-10 record after losing to Bowling Green at home by 13 points in its last game while Ohio enters this game with a 12-6 record after beating Akron at home by 17 points in its last game. This game will start at 2:00 P.M. EST.

Eastern Michigan Looks To Snap Its Losing Streak
The Eastern Michigan Eagles have been playing some terrible basketball lately as they are in the middle of a six-game losing streak including a 13-point home loss against the Bowling Green Falcons in their last game. In that game, Eastern Michigan's defense was awful as it allowed 82 points while letting the opposition shoot 48.4% from the three-point line. Now, the Eagles will be looking to snap their losing streak with a conference road game up next. However, Eastern Michigan has lost each of its first six road games this season as it has looked completely overwhelmed in opposing arenas.
Leading the Eagles offensively is senior forwardTy Groce who is averaging a team-high 14.7 points along with a team-high 6.4 rebounds per game. In addition, he is averaging 1.1 steals per game and 0.9 blocks per game as he has been very active on both sides of the ball.

Eastern Michigan's most underrated player is junior guard Bryce McBride who is averaging 13.5 points per game along with a team-high 2.6 assists per game. However, he is also shooting just 37.7% from the floor as he has been pretty inefficient offensively up to this point.

Ohio Looks To Extend Its Winning Streak
The Ohio Bobcats enter this game in fantastic form as they have won each of their last five games including a 17-point home victory against the Akron Zips in their last game. In that game, Ohio's offense was great as it scored 90 points while shooting 49.2% from the floor and 52.6% from the three-point line. Now, the Bobcats will be looking to extend this winning streak with another conference home game up next. Luckily, Ohio has won seven of its first nine home games as it has looked extremely comfortable at the Convocation Center.
Leading the Bobcats offensively is junior guard Jason Preston who is averaging a team-high 16.4 points per game along with a team-high 7.2 assists per game. However, he was unable to play in his team's last game and he is being listed as questionable for this contest.

Ohio's most underrated player is senior forward Dwight Wilson III who is averaging 15.6 points per game along with a team-high 7.6 rebounds per game. However, he was unable to play in his team's last game and he is being listed as questionable for this contest.

It’s another Mid-American Conference fight on Thursday afternoon as the Central Michigan Chippewas visit the Alumni Arena to take on the Buffalo Bulls. The Chippewas enter tomorrow’s game as the third worst team in the MAC with a 6-13 overall record and 2-12 in the conference. Buffalo is 10-7 overall, and 8-5 in the MAC. Both teams will be trying to prime themselves for the MAC Tournament on March 11th.

Buffalo Playing Well Lately
The Bulls have played good basketball lately, winning four of their last five, losing only to Toledo, the best team in the MAC. Buffalo has also taken four out of the last five ATS, including Wednesday’s win in which they annihilated NIU, 102-74. It was a great way to respond to their February 19th loss to Toledo, with head coach Jim Whitesell telling the Buffalo News that the NIU win was, “a good bounce-back after a loss.”
Forward Josh Mballa put up great numbers against NIU Wednesday with 21 points and 12 boards. He had plenty of help. Jeenathan Williams had 18 points and eight rebounds while Jayvon Graves put up 13 points and added another seven boards. The Bulls are an offensive-minded team in general, but they do one thing better than any other team in the country: rebound. They average 41.4 boards a game, best in college basketball. Another thing they do very well is score, averaging 82.6 points per tilt, good for 11th in the nation.

Chippewas' Woes Continue
Central Michigan had not played in more than two weeks before getting blasted on Tuesday night by Miami of Ohio, 96-54. Let me put that game in perspective. Miami (OH) had come into that game on a four game losing streak and the Chippewas laid a huge egg. It gets worse. Central Michigan’s losing streak is now at six games, five of which they couldn’t even cover the spread. They are currently sitting in 9th place in the MAC, but only the top eight teams will play in the conference tournament so the Chippewas are in danger of missing it.
Travon Broadway is one of the few bright spots on the team, averaging 17.8 points and 5.4 rebounds with Meikkel Murray contributing 14.3 points and 6 boards a contest too. Overall, Central Michigan has not done well on the road, going 2-7, and are one of the worst rebounding teams in the country, only rebounding on defense at a 67.2% rate.

Finishing Strong
Saying that Michigan is in the same tier as Baylor and Gonzaga was never something I thought I'd be typing out before the season started. However, they've firmly put themselves there as they are breezing through the best conference in basketball with an 11-1 record. The Wolverines are also a ridiculous 13-4 ATS and 9-3 ATS in conference play.
The Wolverines' offense comes in ranked sixth in the nation. They are seventh in field goal percentage, 85th in rebounding, 16th in three-point percentage, 14th in two-point percentage, and 29th in free-throw percentage. On the defensive side of the ball, this is the 11th ranked unit. They are fourth in field goal percentage, 55th in rebounding, second in two-point defense, and 33rd in block rate.

Hunter Dickinson leads the Wolverines with 15 points and 7.8 rebounds. Isaiah Livers contributes 14.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. Franz Wagner adds 12.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3 assists.
