The IPFW Mastodons will be laying 4.5 points today against the Ball State Cardinals and this is one they should cover. The ‘Dons might not be on their home court but they may as well be since this game is being played at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana. IPFW knows how to find the basket, averaging 87.7 points per game and are ranked 14th in offensive field goal percentage shooting. If you flip it over, Ball State averages 78.7 points per game and are ranked 73rd in offensive field goal percentage shooting. We can’t do any head-to-head matchups on this one since these two teams haven’t played each other since 2008 but the Mastodons have the edge in points per game, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, rebounding and turnovers. I like the ‘Dons here.
Tonight’s pick:
IPFW Mastodons -4.5
