Game Preview
The Falcons (16-11, 7-7 MAC) see themselves in the middle of the pack within the MAC standings. They are coming off wins over Northern Illinois and Toledo before recently losing to Kent State on Feb. 17. Javonte Campbell was selected to the Preseason First Team All-MAC before the season began and has been living up to those expectations. He leads the Falcons in points (18.6 ppg), assists (5.0 apg) and steals (3.3 spg). On another note, Sam Towns commands the rebounding category with 6.6 boards per game, and Troy Glover II produces the most blocks with 1.6 rejections per contest.
The No. 22 Redhawks (26-0, 13-0 MAC) are enjoying an incredible regular season, setting multiple records across the board after beating UMass on Feb. 17. They also hold the longest win streak in MAC history, showing how elite they have been throughout the regular season. Peter Suder leads the squad with averages of 14.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.4 steals per game. On another note, Brant Byers has been effective with his offensive production, putting up 14.7 points and 4.1 rebounds while making a team-high 55 3-pointers and counting on a 41.7% clip.

Bowling Green vs Miami (OH) Predictions
The Redhawks are getting closer to finishing the regular season undefeated, having five games left in conference play. The Falcons have a solid chance at creating noise for an upset if Javonte Campbell delivers a strong scoring performance. If he can’t get his shot going in the early portion of the game, Miami (OH) can continue with its perfect record. Our betting pick here is the Redhawks to defend an 8-point spread.
