Ohio is undefeated in MAC play and comes in on an eight-game win streak. Ohio has won four straight in this intense rivalry, known as the "Battle of the Bricks." The Bobcats' big three of conference scoring leader Mark Sears (19.7 ppg, 43.2 percent on 3-pointers), Jason Carter (14.5 ppg, 7.2 rpg) and Ben Vander Plas (12.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg) should be too much for the RedHawks, who sit 80 spots behind Ohio in the NET rankings. Lay the small number.

While Miami's overall defensive performance hasn't been great this year, it's improved significantly inside conference play, so I don't think the RedHawks are getting nearly enough credit with this line.
