What to Know

We've got another exciting Mid American matchup on schedule as the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks and the Central Michigan Chippewas are set to tip at 3:30 p.m. ET on February 24th at John D. Millett Hall. The game is expected to be a close one, with Miami (Ohio) going off at just a three-point favorite.

It's hard to win when you make seven fewer threes than your opponent, a fact Miami (Ohio) found out the hard way on Tuesday. Things couldn't have gone much worse for them as they lost 77-58 to the Broncos.

Meanwhile, it may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Central Michigan ultimately got the result they hoped for on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 62-60 victory over the Falcons. Winning may never get old, but Central Michigan sure is getting used to it with their third in a row.

The RedHawks' loss was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 12-14. Those losses could be blamed on the team's lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 60.0 points per game. As for the Chippewas, they are on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games, which provided a nice bump to their 16-10 record this season.

Keep an eye on the arc in Saturday's game: Miami (Ohio) have been dynamite from deep this season, having made 36.7% of their threes per game. It's a different story for Central Michigan, though, as they've only made 30.2% of their threes this season. Given Miami (Ohio)'s sizable advantage in that area, the Chippewas will need to find a way to close that gap.

Miami (Ohio) lost to the Chippewas at home by a decisive 71-55 margin in their previous matchup back in January. Will Miami (Ohio) have more luck at home instead of on the road?
