Abilene Christian lost their first two games this year and had a rough five-game losing streak back in January. Outside of that however, the Wildcats haven’t lost consecutive games. Abilene Christian had a five-game win streak snapped by New Mexico State in the conference tourney but bounced back with a CBI win over Troy on Sunday. 

In the Sunday tournament matchup versus Troy, the Wildcats got off to a great start with a 48-27 first half. Abilene Christian would come away with a nice 82-70 win in the end. Tops in scoring was Coryon Mason with 19 points and three rebounds. Cameron Steele added 18 points with seven boards. 

Over on the Ohio side, they managed a great 23-5 start this year—a run that included no consecutive losses. The Bobcats lost the handle late in the season tough, hitting a 1-4 stretch as they entered the College Basketball Invitational tournament. 

The Bobcats were able to get back on track against Rice on Saturday. Ohio was up by just one point at halftime. After a tense second half the Bobcats had a 65-64 win. Leading scorer Jason Carter doubled up with 26 points and 12 rebounds in the victory. Ben Vander Plas added 13 points and six boards as well. 

PICK: I’m going to try Ohio here. Probably not touching it, though. The Bobcats’ recent 1-4 stretch was quite devastating but the good news is that Ohio still hit some decent scoring totals as they were losing. In three of those five games, the Bobcats hit 77 or more points. The 64-point total against Rice was pretty sluggish for them, however; Ohio is going to need to sharpen it up in this matchup. 

As for Abilene Christian, they had a bad offensive outing in the New Mexico State loss but otherwise they’ve been scoring well lately. I like this matchup to be a higher-scoring finish with the Wildcats keeping a cover pace most of the way. Should be a fun one to watch.
