In a game from NCAA Basketball, we will see Buffalo at Eastern Michigan.
Betting Prediction:
Buffalo rebounded from its first loss to Marquette with a dominant 87-72 win over Canisius on the road. The Bulls shot 50% from the field while holding their opponents to just 36% shooting. Bulls’ leading scorer CJ Massinburg continued to play very well and finished with 22 points and 7 rebounds in the winning effort. Buffalo won 6 of its 7 road games this year and this includes wins over the strong Syracuse and West Virginia sides.
Eastern Michigan fell below .500 after the team beat down by Kansas by 86-63. The Eagles shot an abysmal 30% while Kansas was able to convert 55% of its field goals. James Thompson IV is nearly averaging double-doubles per game with 10.2 points and 9.8 rebounds. The Eagles have already faced tough sides this year, including Duke and TCU. They are 6-2 at home and averaging 70.6 points per game while allowing 70.9.
Eastern Michigan is having a catastrophic season so far and they are also disappointing against the spread, covering it just 1 time this year. The Eagles have scored 69 or fewer points in four out of their last six games. Furthermore, Buffalo has been solid since the start of the season, including on the road.
