What to Know

The Eastern Michigan Eagles are 2-8 against the Ohio Bobcats since February of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Tuesday. The Eagles and Ohio will face off in a Mid-American battle at 7 p.m. ET at George Gervin GameAbove Center. EMU will be strutting in after a win while Ohio will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Even if it wasn't a dominant performance, EMU beat the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks 74-69 this past Saturday.

Meanwhile, Ohio was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 83-77 to the Akron Zips.

EMU is expected to lose this next one by 8. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, as they've failed to beat the spread in four of their eight home games.

The Eagles' victory brought them up to 5-16 while the Bobcats' loss pulled them down to 11-10. EMU is 0-4 after wins this season, and Ohio is 6-3 after losses.
